Not without recompiling. The font is basically defined by:
static char *fontname_R6 =
"-adobe-helvetica-%s-%s-*-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*";
which you could fix by changing the last two "*" to 8859-1. However,
it would likely make our eastern colleagues unhappy to change it in
the distribution.
However, I and I suspect most others actually do get the 8859-1
encoded fonts, so the problem is with your system configuration.
What you could do is to arrange that the system finds the 8859-1
fonts before any other font. This is generally done by manipulating
the font path, or reconfiguring your font server.
