  accented characters of CM fonts not available to inkscape

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: inkscape

  1.) I type in Inkscape a word with accented characters (using default
  font), for example Slovak words "človek" or "dĺžka".

  2.) Then I try to switch the font  of these words to Computer Modern,
  in particular cmr10, which should be the Roman shape.

  3.) Only non-accented letters are switched correctly. I.e. accented
  letters are typed incorrectly and very ugly.

  See files which I am attaching:

  FILE  ComputerModern_accented.svg
  produced in Inkscape.

  FILE  ComputerModern_accented.pdf
  also produced in the same Inkscape session by "save as PDF".

  Both the SVG and corresponding PDF clearly show the problem with ugly
  typing of accented characters specific to Latin1 and Latin2 character
  sets.

  FILE  HowShouldItLookLike.pdf
  I created this file in LaTeX and it shows how the accented characters and words should look like.

  Please note that Computer Modern fonts are the default fonts used in
  TeX/LaTeX systems and for many people they are most important.

  Also, although I am using an English-language desktop, I have
  installed also any Slovak and/or Central-European fonts etc so that
  the problem, with most certainty, is not caused by an incomplete
  installation.
