A user has reported this bug to me:

In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.3, X toolkit) of Mon Oct 10
1994 on craro.dcs.ed.ac.uk

Contrary to the documentation

** If you set the environment variable LC_CTYPE to iso_8859_1 or
iso-8859-1, Emacs automatically sets up for display and syntactic
handling of the ISO Latin-1 character set.

emacs-19.27 no longer (it works in 19.26) appreciates this variable
and one needs to issue M-x standard-display-european.
