[michael-o]

HP Roman 8 is also known as 'hp-roman8', 'cp1051' and 'ibm1051'. They are missing from the aliases.py.

[serhiy-storchaka]

Please provide references for the definition of 'cp1051' and 'ibm1051'.

[serhiy-storchaka]

The hp-roman8 codec was added in bpo-996067. The link to the original data (ftp://dkuug.dk/i18n/charmaps/HP-ROMAN8) is dead now.
