I have:

(define-coding-system-alias 'windows-1252 'iso-8859-1)

I don't know if it's the right way.

You can say:

(standard-display-ascii ?\205 "...")    ; ellipsis
(standard-display-ascii ?\206 "+")      ; dagger

and so on. I learned this from gnu.emacs.sources just a few hours
ago. There's a list at <http://www4.ncsu.edu/~tlroche/msChars.el>
