follow-up ....
I just realized that there are some additional problems with character
encodings. Latvian and Lithuanian should be supported by
ISO-8859-4 according to information I found. However, I got serious
trouble when converting from UTF-8 to ISO for these languages. Did the
alphabet change recently or is the ISO standard just useless?
Now, I changed the Latvian and Lithuanian texts from the EUconst corpus to
UTF-8 in the CWB index. Looks good but is difficult to query for
diacritics. Check:

http://logos.uio.no/cgi-bin/opus/opuscqp.pl?corpus=EUconst;lang=lv
Let me know if there is a 8-bit code that can be (is) used for these
2 languages.
