encoding names
Returns a list containing the names of all of the encodings that are currently available.
If Tk is loaded, the encoding "X11ControlChars" will be included in the list. This is not a real encoding but a kludge used to arrange for a character that has no representation in any available font to be converted to a \xnn or \unnnn string and displayed in an ISO8859-1 font. WJP 2007-05-21.
DGP In what way does that make the "X11ControlChars" not a real encoding? If encoding names returns it, then encoding convertto, for example, can use it, right?
