Why en_US.ISO-8859-1 and not en_US.UTF-8? 

Red Hat/Fedora switched to UTF-8 in Red Hat 8, this was back in 2002.
More than 7 years later, using ISO is not really a supported use case
any longer. You must have configured this manually
in /etc/sysconfig/i18n, because nether anaconda (the installer) nor
system-config-language will allow you to set ISO.

For the record: This means you need to download the package to install
it. Once it's in updates-testing you can install it with
$ yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update exo

Usually updates are sitting in updates-testing for 1-2 weeks, so you
should have enough of time.
If you really want to continue using ISO, you need to
edit /etc/xdg/xfce4/mount.rc and remove UTF-8 there. But please be aware
of the fact that you will run into trouble if you ever happen to have
any files not ISO encoded. Not sure if this is likely for somebody in
the US, but for the large majority of our users UTF-8 is the better
choice.
