Sort answer: no.

ISO-8859-2 is too different from ISO-8859-15 (~60 characters). Every new 
character interferes the recognizing of old ones, and every new 
character has to be implemented by hand. It is just too much work and 
too much trouble for me.

Perhaps a small subset (about 6) of non-conflictive characters ('latin 
capital letter s with acute' or similar) could be implemented for 
version 0.10 if you tell me what characters and send me some good scans 
of texts containing them. But only if such partial support is useful for 
enough people.


Best regards,
Antonio Diaz.
