The article "windows-1252" was actually created as windows-1252. Then I just replaced "windows-1252" by "windows-125x" (x \in {0...9}) in the outgoing file using sed. Emacs should display _something_ (at least for A0-FF), although not necessarily the character denoted in the "Description (only correct for Latin-1)" column. The description should be correct for windows-1252. E.g. at Hex A3 there is "POUND SIGN" in windows-1252 but a Cyrillic-J (Ј) in windows-1251. As "windows-1259" doesn't exist (AFAIK), this article should display the "Unknown charset" message (you must have `gnus-verbose' >= 7). > Or is it a font issue or something (though I've got lots of fonts > installed; most of emacs HELLO displays properly)? If you see hollow squares, it is a font issue, I think. If you see \200 or similar, the position might be unused in this charset.
