I suggest you check your target encodings first and ask again. Your
suppositions are incorrect. ISO-8859-9 is Latin 5 (Western Europe plus
Turkish) and ISO-8859-15 *is* Latin 9 (Western Europe plus Euro Currency
Sign) --- that is, the nineth Latin encoding (== using the Roman
alphabet) among all the character encodings defined under the ISO-8859
standard.

Furthermore, the characters you report as missing, Eth, Thorn, *do not*
exist in ISO-8859-2 (Latin 2 Central Europe). They exist only in the
ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1 Western Europe) encoding.
