@SysInclude { latin2 } will just pull in necessary font definitions
for latin2 emulated with Adobe fonts.  You still has to arrange for
@InitiallLanguage and @InitialFont to be set appropriately.

Below is an exerpt from a paper by Mate^j Cepl that just happened to
be lying around.  Since my mailer will probably strip out latin2, I'll
use ^ for caron, etc.

    # -*- coding: latin-2-dos -*-
    @SysInclude { latin2 }
    @SysInclude { report }

    @Report
      @Title { Spra'va cizi'ho majetku }
      # ...
      @InitialLanguage { Czech }
      @InitialFont { TimesCE Base 11p }
      # ...
    //

    @Section @Title { U'vod }
    @Begin
    # ...

You don't "replace" all fonts, you define new ones (latin2 do this for
you) and use those.
