I was probably thinking of something along the lines of (the
alphabetic characters in) the following named Unicode blocks:

Basic Latin
Latin-1 (aka Latin-1 Supplement)
Latin Extended A
Latin Extended B
Latin Extended C
Latin Extended D
Latin Extended Additional

(See http://www.unicode.org/charts/ , bottom left.)

ISO 8859-1 is "obviously" essentially Basic Latin + Latin-1; the
alphabetic characters in ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) and ISO 8859-15
(Latin-9) should also all be contained in the above blocks.

Probably even in the first three, i.e. Basic + L-1 + Ext-A -- and
maybe those are sufficient, since Ext-B to -D include
increasingly-obscure (IMAO) letters.

Cheers,
