\k{e} \dh

[Michiel Meeuwissen]

Since using Omega/Lambda is evidently not too practical, I decided to give it
a try with simple LaTeX. So I used 'konwert' to translate my utf-8
input file to 'tex' and now latexing I receive the following:

! LaTeX Error: Command \k unavailable in encoding OT1.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...

l.524 ...a Maszczy\'nska-G\'ora. Trad. Lidia Lig\k
{e}za. Krakovo, 1997. 63p...

The other problem seems to be \dh.

How do I make them available?

It does work, but the resulting pdf-file (with pdflatex or latex +
dvipdf) look a lot less pretty then if I don't use this package. (and
simply make some simple, but not good, \def's for \k \dh and \th).
The whole document looks a lot less sharp.

Can something be done against this as well?

not cheaply with cm-family fonts, since the T1 cm family fonts only
exist as commercial offerings in type1 format.

you can come close with

\usepackage{times}

or

\usepackage{pslatex}

but there are problems with maths in your documents then ... you can
only truly satisfy _those_ by (again) buying commercial fonts.
