I'm not sure why you bring this up. Anyway, according to X.690, the default is: G0: 102 C0: 106 C1: 107 Or as escape sequences and locking shift: ESC 2/8 7/5 LS0 (G0 102, locking shift 0) ESC 2/1 4/5 (C0 106) ESC 2/2 4/8 (C1 107) But what is just as important is that G1 does not have a default, while at least some people assume it's 103. While 102 is close to ASCII, there is nothing for G1 that is close to latin1.
