In the string_abstraction2 branch, I'd added functionality to translate some common EMACS names for encodings into the proper linunistring names for encodings, but, that hasn't made its way into master. For latin-1, the name libunistring expects is ISO-8859-1. So it was my bad for not changing latin-1 to iso-8859-1 when I merged it from string_abstraction2 to master. I haven't put the Emacs aliases into master yet because I want that list to be in scheme code in ice-9 instead of in C code. I haven't really thought through the details of how that should be done. Thanks, Mike
