Yes, you are right. I forgot to mention that ISO-8859-15 is a patched
version of ISO-8859-1 that includes the Euro currency sign instead of
the old currency sign and other extra characters used in
not-so-central-european languages[1] replacing such characters as
brokenbar, most accent characters and the fraction symbols. The
reference sites for the glyph tables are http://www.unicode.org/ in the
vendor encoding equivalence tables section, http://www.czyborra.com/ and
the website for the Titus project (a repository for classic western
languages and the Titus Cyberbit font. I don't have the URI for the
latter anywhere close right now).
