The real name should be ISO-8859-1, but the possible values 
of the Gnuplot variable "encoding" are :

Octave<1> gset encoding ISO-8859-1 
Octave<2> 
gnuplot> set encoding ISO-8859-1 
line 0: expecting one of 'default', 'iso_8859_1', 'cp437' or 'cp850'

I think that the problem comes from the core of octave where the
character of the command line should be coded with a char and then
accept the 7bit-ASCII and not the extended 8bit-ASCII, required for
european languages.
