We're now considering the multilingual problem in the Thot library, but the
current release doesn't allow you to easily customize Thot applications.
You can change the Thot encoding for your specific need by modifying the line
713 in Thot/thotlib/dialogue/font.c.
Replace
strcat (r_nameX, "-iso8859-1");
by
strcat (r_nameX, "-iso8859-2");

If the standard Xlookup process doesn't work fine for you, you have to add
rules
in Thot/config/thot.keyboard file.
