mac-roman is an obsolete encoding that was used in MacOS 9 and MacOS 
Classic systems of previous decades. Except in a very small and 
shrinking number of legacy applications, it isn't used in modern systems 
and hasn't been widely used for a long time.  MacOS X systems generally 
use standard Unicode encodings, usually UTF-8, for external 
representations.  Forget about mac-roman; it is not relevant.
