Bug Description
I have tried installing Kubuntu Breezy preview (daily build 20050902).
I have chosen Polish locale and most of Polish characters (but not all) are showing as rectangles.
This is because default font (Bitstream Vera Sans) does not contain them.
Default font should be switched to support Polish characters. Suse uses "Sans serif" and it is very good, but
it is not installed in Ubuntu. "Free sans" is installed and has the necessary characters, but it is not as
well looking as "Sans serif" from Suse.

Changing severity to "major" as it deters Polish users from Kubuntu.
