As you may see, Microsoft's encoding partly mirror the standard ISO8859 ones,
but there are (minor) differences even between ISO8859-1 (Latin1, ISO encoding
for Western Europe) and CP1251 (WinLatin1, standard code page for English
versions of Windows) and there are more of them for other encodings.

The situation is particularly complicated with Cyrillic encodings for which
(more than) three incompatible encodings exist: KOI8 (the old standard, widely
used on the Internet), ISO8859-5 (ISO standard for cyrillic) and CP1251
used on the Internet), ISO8859-5 (ISO standard for Cyrillic) and CP1251
(WinCyrillic).

This abundance of (incompatible) encoding:w
s should make it clear that using
encodings is less easy than it might seem. The problems arise both from the
fact that the standard encodigns for the given language (say Russian, which is
written in cyrillic) are different on different platforms and because the
fact that the standard encodings for the given language (say Russian, which is
written in Cyrillic) are different on differe nt platforms and because the
fonts in the given encoding might just not be installed (this is especially a
problem with Unix, or, in general, not Win32, systems).
