Font encoding vs. string encoding

[Sir Raorn]

Going back to my problem with mostCompatibleEcoding, I've
looked into helvR12k.pcf
(-rfx-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-koi8-r,
according to fonts.dir) and I saw, that CHARSET_ENCODING
really set to "1". This is surely font's bug.

I think best solution is not to use hardcoded mappings from
reg-enc to NSEcoding, but congurable dictionary like the
folowing:

{
  "iso8859-1" = "NSISOLatin1StringEncoding";
  "iso8859-2" = "NSISOLatin2StringEncoding";
  ...
  "big5-1" = "NSBIG5StringEncoding";
  "iso10646-1" = "NSUnicodeStringEncoding";
  ...
  "koi8-r" = "NSKOI8RStringEncoding";
}

It can be a file named for example Font.aliases and located in
$GNUSTEP_ROOT/Libraries/Resources/Fonts. And of course it can
be overriden by user's config just like DefaultKeyBindings.dict

I can take care of it this weekend. Waiting for your comments
and suggestions.
