This seems to be a common problem. I believe I read somewhere that it stems from the fact that windows makes some strange extensions to that character set. I look forward to the day when Unicode is as well established as ASCII once was and we can all write all of the characters we need and not have to worry about how they will be stored and displayed.

For a discussion of some of the issues involved with iso-8859, you might want to read:
