It's actually a little wee buglet.  When charset-registries are used
to match font-names, they are used case-insensitively.  At some point
charset-registries were decided to be lower-case strings, but this
function got missed.  "iso8859-1" will be used next beta.  But the
code should work either way.

Whether charset-registry of ascii should ever be anything other than
"iso8859-1" is highly controversial, and I have been flamed for
setting it to "jisx0201" in Japanese mode.
