Please forgive the forward; I don't understand anything about encodings
myself so I can only pass on the report whole.  Vit Zyka wrote me the

Dear Jim,

I do not know who is responsible for a next bug; in the cork.enc file I 
find address <tex-fonts at tug.org> but my mail returned back undelivered. 
So I am sending this bug to you are the CTAN maintainer. Please, might 
you correct it yourself or resent to a responsible person?

There is wrongly named the glyph 'tcaron' by 'tquoteright' in the files
ec.enc and cork.enc. It is really bug, see e.g.
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0165/index.htm
Due to the fact the glyph is simply missing using some fonts in the
resulted documents.
-------------------------------------------------

On my TeX Live 2007 installation the only cork.enc is below dvips while
here on CTAN we hold three (sigh).  The TeX Live cork.enc seems not to
have what Vit is talking about but one of our three does seem to me to
have a correction.

        $ find /var/ftp/pub/tex-archive -name cork.enc -exec grep tquoteright {} \; -print
          /tcaron %was: /tquoteright but is just the form of tcaron preferred
        /var/ftp/pub/tex-archive/dviware/catdvi/enc/cork.enc
          /tquoteright /tcedilla /uhungarumlaut /uring
        /var/ftp/pub/tex-archive/dviware/mdvi/data/cork.enc
          /tquoteright /tcedilla /uhungarumlaut /uring
        /var/ftp/pub/tex-archive/info/fontname/cork.enc
