Support for various encodings is not as simple as it may sound, but future versions of Opera will have Unicode support. Part of this support is support for the entire set of ISO 8859 encodings, and this is in fact already working perfectly in internal versions on Windows.
What remains is basically to weed out the bugs in the old code that has now been upgraded to support Unicode, and make the necessary Linux-specific changes.

So ISO 8859-2 support _is_ coming.
