dina-font 2.89-5: No iso8859-1 - bug or feature?

After upgrading dina-font to package version 5 rxvt-unicode stopped working and spouted the error message that the font could not be loaded. I was using the following default font: -*-dina-medium-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 which was working fine with dina-font 2.89-2+rxvt-unicode.

After upgrading to pkg version 5 I checked dina-font with xfontsel and found out that iso8859-1 was not available anymore and only "microsoft" as registry and "cp1252" as encoding were.

Rxvt-unicode works with pkg version 5 without setting any registry and encoding, but the question remains if the missing iso8859-1 registry/encoding has any impact on Danish characters when my locale is set to utf8? I can add that I haven't noticed any problems yet.

It is a "feature"...

In the latest revision, the .fon file was replaced by the Unix font.
