Trinity, Homerton, Corpus, for a start. They all contain the full
Latin-2 set, and a few other Latin sets, too. Run !XChars, click on
the tiny option button to the left of the font name and choose Latin-2
encoding. That shows you what the font looks like when opened with
Latin-2 encoding. If you had a word processor that supported font
encodings you could use these characters in your documents, but sadly,
our word processors do not allow you to choose the encoding.
In case of an emergency, you can type *alphabet latin2 on the command
line to change the global system default and then all word processors
will display and print the Latin2 characters in the above fonts
instead of Latin1. Type *alphabet latin1 to switch back.

I suppose what you want is not just a font that contains the Latin-2
characters as you requested above, but a Latin-2 font that is directly
encoded in Latin-2, so you can use it in applications that do not know
about encodings and simply open the font in its default encoding.
I have never seen one apart from those by EFF.
