You should look for ISO-8859-16. I have used it even before was finally
accepted. If you need fonts for X, I prepare few hundreds at
http://httpd.chello.nl/s.ciobica/fonturi/index-en.html
I am not sure that ISO-8859-16 supports all the languages as
ISO-8859-2 did, but you may want to have a look. "locate ISO-8859-16"
gave me this file: /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ISO-8859-16.gz
which contain a list of all glyphs from this encoding.
I was thinking to make an Debian package out of it, but I am
not a programer and I got stuck...
