Type 1 fonts: many of the commonly available free iso-8859-2 fonts are unfortunately broken. They were created by modifying the glyphs of iso-8859-1 fonts, but whoever done this failed to rename the glyphs to their correct PostScript names -- basically the font remains an iso-8859-1 font. This means that when AW looks for the Polish glyphs in the font, it does not find them. As a workaround you can create a custom u2g file for such fonts which associates the glyph names the font actually uses (which you will find in the font's afm file) with the required Unicode values; the u2g file needs to have same name as the font (times.pfa -> times.u2g), for format of the file see adobe-full.u2g that comes with the AW fonts. TTF fonts: you need to run the ttfadmin.sh script specifying the correct encoding, in this case ISO-8859-2, this will create the required files automatically. Tomas
