Such a modified version of Trinity should not be necessary.

The standard Trinity ROM font does have all the Latin1 AND Latin2 
glyphs, plus many others. Creating a Latin2-only variant downgrades 
the font from its current multi-encoding setup to a single fixed 
encoding. That only make sense if you want to use this font with 
applications that do not know about encodings (i.e., pretty much all 
of them, most notably all RISC OS word processors and DTP programs).

A new encodings-aware version of MPro would be the one piece of 
software for which you would not need such a fixed encoding font 
because it could easily use the standard Trinity font in ROM to 
display Latin-2 text without anyone having to install a modified 
version of the font.
