Where does this iso88595.def come from? In my standard latex
distribution, I only have latin5.def. Is this configuration file wrong?

We could easily add iso88595 as a choice. Currently, lyx also supports
koi8-r and koi8-u, which I thought were considered better than latin5.

I did not think there were so many languages using cyrillic, indeed...
