Well, you should try (if you have -biznet-aplos-*). I know that when 
I have pair of  iso8859-* and koi8-r(Russian Cyrillic) specified in
fontset and koi8-r font is mising, then 8bit is dropped and by magic of
koi8 I still can read Russian text in Latin translitiration.

O! one thing. -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2 is 
an alias of -biznet-aplos-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2 on my 
RedHat Linux, so even 

style "default" {
        fontset = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*"
}

would work just as well. If you want to have some iso8859-2 font being
picked up if one you specified is missing, then put ,* at the end, like:

style "default" {
        fontset = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*,
	-biznet-aplos-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2,*"
}

you might get an ugly font, but if there is any iso8859-2 font, it will
be picked up as default font.
