Comment 4 for bug 587018

Hi Rob,

I believe It has something to do with the UTF-8 encoding I remember we had
about the same issues with French. maybe you could recompile it?

Kind Regards,

> Hello,
> the problem is: all Polish national characters are not properly displayed.
> Polish chars are replaced by some symbols (look like incorect font encoding)
> - for some expamples please see attached print screen (main program window

> There are some replacing rules (I'm not sure if it's important):
> - for some chars: at least 2 Polish chars are replaced by one and the same
> symbol ("ą" and "ę" by one symbol, "ł" and "ń" by other - if you can see my

> - for some chars: one pcs of Polish chars is replaced by two symbols ("ł"
> and also "ń" by A with dot above and next to A - rectangle), some others by
> only one symbol
