Latin 1  is ISO-8859-1 ... perfect if it works ;), but
they are different encodings and frequently problems
arise when mizing both... 

When mixing both encodings works, any middleware might
be doing the conversion... something like in Java...

    new String(spanishWord.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),
"UTF-8") ... or so...

Best regards,
carlos
