I guess you're getting eth, but you really want dcroat (in some fonts
it's called dbar); while the uppercase letters Eth and Dcroat look
identical, the lowercase letters are quite different.  Lout's
LtLatin2.LCM encoding contains eth instead of dcroat, so you first
would have to change this.  If you're using fonts that contain the
dcroat glyph (e.g., the URW++ fonts shipped with Ghostscript), you
should be done.

If your fonts don't contain a glyph for dcroat, you could either
replace them with fonts that do, or you might be able to fake it by
combining a "d" and a hyphen using Lout's composition mechanism.
