Attention Polish Speakers: we need a good Polish font

The font we are currently using, DejaVuSans.ttf, doesn't have very good coverage of the Polish language characters. Do any Poles or other Polish speakers have any recommendations for a replacement free-licensed (GPL or Creative Commons) font?

I figured I should check, and it turns out that DejaVu has added Ł recently, so I've updated the font files in SVN to version 2.29. This fixes the problem that motivated this post, but I don't know how well it covers other Polish characters.

I'm not that keen on fonts, but I use DejaVu Sans, Serif and Mono every day in my Linux system and these fonts support all Polish characters without any problems (at least as long as I use the "PL_pl.UTF8" locale).
Plus I've been using them for a good couple of years now and I never had any problems with these fonts.
