But don't do that. You don't want en_US.cp437 as your system language.
Ungood things will result...
Read carefully the "CHARACTER SETS" section of the mkisofs(8) man page
and adjust the -input-charset and -output-charset options as necessary
-- or use "-input-charset help" to see what's built in. I'd suggest
using iso8859-1 (or -15 for EU support) rather than cp437.
