I'm pretty sure that iso-8859-1 encoding is a subset of the Unicode encoding. So even when the locale is set to a Unicode encoding iso-8859-1 (extended ASCI) documents should still work fine (they seem to here). If they really don't then would you attach an example file that contains characters that fail to render with a Unicode locale?
