Only Kword, I've tried KSpread and KPresenter - in these apps it's even not 
possible to type any ISO 8859-2 character.

Country: Poland (pl)
Language: English US (C)
Charset: iso8859-2
I am using times, in fact the only fonts I've installed are these one which 
comes with xfree 3.3.6
And I've only installed iso 8859-2 charset, no other.

Times is installed, and it does support iso 8859-2 (for example in KMail)

One uncommon thing about internalization settings is contents of 
/etc/sysconfig/i18n:
LANG="en_EU.ISO_8859-2"
this allows me to use iso8859 charset in console, and the programs aren't 
autotranslated, but if this changes something in X and KDE - i don't know.
