;;; Commentary:
;; This package sets up display of ISO 8859-n for n>1 by substituting
;; Latin-1 characters and sequences of them for characters which can't
;; be displayed, either because we're on a tty or because we don't
;; have the relevant window system fonts available. For instance,
;; Latin-9 is very similar to Latin-1, so we can display most Latin-9
;; characters using the Latin-1 characters at the same code point and
;; fall back on more-or-less mnemonic ASCII sequences for the rest.
;; This package sets up display of many non-ASCII characters by
;; substituting ASCII and Latin-1 characters and sequences of them for
;; characters which can't be displayed, either because we're on a tty
;; or because we don't have the relevant window system fonts
;; available. For instance, Latin-9 is very similar to Latin-1, so we
;; can display most Latin-9 characters using the Latin-1 characters at
;; the same code point and fall back on more-or-less mnemonic ASCII
;; sequences for the rest.
;; For the Latin charsets the ASCII sequences are mostly consistent
;; with the Quail prefix input sequences. Latin-4 uses the Quail
;; postfix sequences since a prefix method isn't defined for Latin-4.
;; Non-Latin non-ASCII characters are generally displayed as ASCII
;; strings remotely reminiscent of the original characters, as best as
;; possible. See `latin1-display-ucs-per-lynx'.
;; [A different approach is taken in the DOS display tables in
;; term/internal.el, and the relevant ASCII sequences from there are
;; available as an alternative; see `latin1-display-mnemonic'. Only
