Does anybody know which characters, in the upper 128 of the ansi set,
are generally modified to support the Czech alphabet?  I want to modify
an EGA font for my PC; the upper 128 of the "standard" character set
contains everything you need to display German, French, Spanish, and
most of the Scandinavian languages, but no Slavic characters.  I've seen
Hungarian PC clones in eastern Europe; how is the character set modified?

In particular, I want to replace existing character fonts if/as necessary
to provide the following Czech characters, in both upper and lowercase:

              '  '  '  '  '  '  v  v  v  v  v  o  
              A  E  I  O  U  Y  C  N  R  S  Z  U  D' T'

If there's no standard, I'll just blow off a dozen or so Greek characters
and use that space, but I'm sure these characters must have standard codes.
Also, how about the Russian alphabet?

Thanks.
