[Alain] :
Just to make my previous answer clearer:

"csISOLatin15" is certainly incorrect.

It is part *15* of the ISO/IEC 8859 series.

But it is Latin alphabet no. *9*.

It is just incidental that part 1 of the series is Latin alphabet no. 1.

There are also many non-Latin alphabets in this 8-bit CS series.
