Miguel, if you're using MSDN as the sole source of your
information, you shouldn't wonder it's centering the world
around Microsoft, since they are the authors.
Please read other facts. "Windows-1252" was derived from
ISO-8859-1 standard (by Microsoft) with added (non-standard)
features ("embrace and extend").
It has never been accepted by any official standardization
bodies.
Moreover Microsoft is wrong, as ISO-8859-1 could never be
an alias of Windows-1252 as they are not exactly identical.
Microsoft is also wrong in calling their Windows CPs "ANSI"
giving the impression these are official ANSI standards.
They are not unfortunately.
Also notice that "Windows-1252" _as a name_ is an officially
registered one by IANA.
Brgds,
Viktor

Hi Miguel,
Windows-1252 is the standard used at windows application.
CP-1252 is local MS name. Nothing more.
ISO-8859-1 is the standard used at Linux and html application,
ISO-8859-1 is standardized name and official standard encoding in
many countries.
In my country official encoding is ISO-8859-2.
but have a lot of synonyms on different Linux platform. I use it on
my php applications.
I do not know about any other local synonyms of ISO-8859-1
(maybe only MS CP-1252).
It's official name which has nothing to Linux. Linux only uses
official standards.
best regards,
Przemek
