LaTeX with latin2 fonts

There are several ways how to enable accented characters, you can try all of them an choose the one you like most. Example document is using one I think is best (but you have to install cs fonts (based on Computer Modern)).

You can use normal CM fonts with added diacritics (looks weird):

\usepackage{ae,aecompl}

These should look for other fonts and use cm-super if available:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

This one explicitly uses T1 with Latin Modern fonts:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}

And this one uses cs fonts, looks very good:

\usepackage[IL2]{fontenc}

Example document

\documentclass[a4paper,titlepage]{article}

% encoding and hyphenation
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[slovak]{babel}

% good looking latin2 fonts
\usepackage[IL2]{fontenc}

\title{\LaTeX document title}
\author{First Author \and Second Author}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
