Thanks. That should now been fixed in CVS (will appear in next
snapshot). I think this is the fix:

I'm not entirely certainly, but I think this is a general XML issue, explained
by the following: By default, DB2LaTeX uses ISO-8859-1 encoding for its output.
If the Czech language requires a different encoding, you will need to specify
it yourself. If you have a DB2LaTeX customisation file (explained at the
DB2LaTeX website), you can use the following lines:

    <xsl:import href="...path.or.url.to...db2latex/docbook.xsl"/>
    <xsl:output encoding="something.other.than.ISO-8859-1"/>

Note, however, that you will also need to enable corresponding fonts in LaTeX
(for this, you add another line to your DB2LaTeX customisation file). This can
be done in a number of ways, but I am not sure what conventions to use for
Czech. If you have lang="cs' in your DocBook source files, DB2LaTeX might
automatically get LaTeX's babel package to help you out (not sure if it's
sufficient, though). If you have a small sample document, I could try some
things for you.
