Yes, I believe it is. Basically what windows-1250 does is reassign a bunch of
the characters in the control range 80-9F to various punctuation and accented
letters. It ends up having a superset of what iso-8859-2.

No they don't. Several of the characters iso-8859-2 has in this 
range are in the 80-9F range in windows-1250.

Things are shuffled around quite a bit and there are about 20 additional
graphical characters in windows-1250. Not sure you can call that "minor".
