Unfortunately, your list does not include the 8-bit charsets used in
this country (Czech Republic). We use either CP1250 or ISO-8859-2.
The CP1250 support in my Palm IIIx is provided by the "GNU-Czech"
software from redgrep CZ http://www.redgrep.cz/GNU-czech/ .
I use the software for few years without any problems.

Why ? Probably, there are tons of third-party NLS software for
languages not listed here.

Maybe, but I solved both my problems by
1) changing #define PILOT_CHARSET from CP1252 to CP1250
2) recompiling pilot-link
3) restarting pilot-daemon
