Aha, sorry.

Again, I was supposing 7 bit CM fonts, with \v{C} as meant in good old
plain.tex .  This is good enough to print Dvo\v{r}\'ak in The TeXbook,
and it was used to typeset textbooks in ancient times, but it is not
``book quality.''   (In Czech, every second letter is accented.)

You have to use 8bit extensions of CM fonts for Czech book typesetting.
So it was again the same misunderstanding.

Hope this explains it.
