======================================
Footnote about caron, hacek and makcen 

háèek (hacek) = h\'{a}\v{c}ek is Czech word for caron
mäkèeò (makcen) = m\"{a}k\v{c}e\v{n} is Slovak word for caron

Caron usually looks like little letter v, or circumflex upside down.
When it is placed on letters whose upper half consist only of vertical stem,
i.e. L, l, d, t, it looks more like an apostrophe. Note that capital D and T,
use "normal" caron. 

In this font, capital L is IMHO suitable to wear normal caron. The apostrophe
like version I made from half of umlaut (i.e. single dot). It is not the best,
but much better than apostrophe, which is far too big. Perhaps I'll make a new
version if I find some Czech or Slovak book printed in fraktur.

If anyone will try to make new "apostrophe like" caron, go ahead, but check
out the appearance of your work on words like: ¹»astný = \v{s}\v{t}astn\'{y}
and koµko = ko\v{l}ko. It is essential that the width of letters with and 
without caron is the same, while caron is small enough not to touch the next
letter, and big enough to be easily seen. Challenging task after all.
