(the letter after =` is ccaron, the one of letters from Czech alhpbet).
We can see, that Unicode font is needed, because the character slot is
"10D and this is greater than 255 and impossible to prit it by 8bit font.
You asked about fonts, not about input encoding :)
This was not my question at begin of this thread.
Using active characters could 'fix' your problem by reverting
everything back to horrible 7bit mode, I assume.

I know the solution with active characters, of course. But this implies
many problems (\uppercase, \lccodes, letters in csnames etc.) thus we
never used active characters for Czech/Slovak in our csplain format.
Luatex strictly requires UTF8 encoding on the input thus I mean that
there exist some posibilities to control the conversion from this input to
the TeX internal encoding.
