Attention Polish Speakers: we need a good Polish font

#1 Post by tzlaine »

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.
