Has anyone successfully configured a Czech keyboard using iso8859-2
fonts on a Digital Unix 4.0D system? When I configure the system to
use a Czech PCXAL keyboard using dxkeyboard under X, I find that
the a number of the characters on the top row are not mapped correctly.

In particular, many of the caron characters do not function. Using
xev, I see that these keys are mapped to keysyms greater than 0xff
and since the iso8859-2 font only has symbols going up to 0xff.
Since there are no characters beyond 0xff in the font, nothing
is displayed. These symbols do exist in the font, but at a location
which is 0x100 less than the keysym. For example, the character
c-caron is reported by xev as a keysym value of 0x1ec, but in the font,
the character is in location 0xec.

I do have the i18n czech subset loaded and I have tried setting
the locale env variable. Am I missing something here?
