Do you have display (C)haracter set ISO-8859-2? If you do you should be
without problems. 

If you want to use a MAC-CE font, the trick is to make your telnet to
translate ISO-8859-2 to MAC-Central-Europen, which is possible and easy to
do. If you understand some Czech, try to look at
http://www.cuni.cz/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/obo/cestina/--ASCII/pocestovani/unix/telnet/ncsaMac.html,
or ask the author (address@hidden) for a translation.

Or, there's another chance, if you use Klaus' charset patches, which are
at http://www.tezcat.com/~kweide/lynx-chartrans/, you can tell lynx that
your display is in fact a MAC-CE one, and all the documents get correctly
translated. (I hope Klaus has the Mac-CE table included.)

Anyway, better is to use the translating telnet, so you can for example
mail with pine or elm with correct ISO-8859-2 characters..
