[issue843590] 'macintosh' encoding alias for 'mac_roman'

Martin von Gagern added the comment: Maybe I'm missing something here, but r84229 looks to me like aliasing 'macintosh' to itself, instead of to 'mac_roman'. 'csmacintosh' and 'mac' are not included at all, without any comment as to why they have been omitted. Makes me wonder why my issue8435

[issue843590] 'macintosh' encoding alias for 'mac_roman'

Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: Here's another reference I found: http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/documentation/mac/Text/Text-30.html It appears that the "macintosh" encoding is the same as the MacRoman one, but without the character D9-FF. The document also suggests that

[issue843590] 'macintosh' encoding alias for 'mac_roman'

Martin von Gagern added the comment: And this patch (issue84359_alias.patch) is the alternative, 'macintosh' as an alias to 'mac_roman' as originally requested, along with a bunch of aliases registered with IANA. I'd prefer this approach over the preceding one, and hope someone will maybe rev

[issue843590] 'macintosh' encoding alias for 'mac_roman'

Martin von Gagern added the comment: Find attached (issue843590_rfc.patch) an implementation of the macintosh encoding as the RFC defines it. I don't suggest its inclusion; I would prefer the alias of this implementation, but either one is better than no 'macintosh' encoding at all. So if you

Martin von Gagern added the comment: I did some further investigations here. Apple doesn't seem likely to offer any authoritative reference for the "macintosh" encoding, because all they ever seem to talk about is "Roman". The only source for "macintosh" I could find is this RFC 1345, with the l
