Installing kde-base/kde-i18n with "pl" among my LINGUAS wasn't helpful, however I've noticed something interesting. I entered Amarok's setting window and in the Appearance tab I found an option allowing me to change the default font. Moreover the font chooser dialog allows me to check whether the font contains diacritical characters. I've chosen a suitable font, which displayed all those chars correctly and clicked "Apply". Most surprisingly, part of the fonts have changed and begun to display everything correctly (e.g. the context window and the playlist), but the main menu on the top still consists of those rectangles and I am not able to change its font.

Enabling UTF-8 may be a solution, but it doesn't satisfy me. By the way, I gave it a try but it doesn't work. I still have got those rectangles instead of diacriticals.

[gentoo-user] Gnome, KDE applications and diacritical characters
Hi everyone, Despite being a Gnome fan, I've been using few KDE apps, such as Amarok and Kile. I've emerged them on my Gentoo desktop with a Gnome environment. Unfortunately I'm not able to force a KDE apps to display Polish diacritical characters (e.g. ć, ł, ę). All I can see instead of them are small rectangles. I've tried to use qtconfig to change fonts but it hasn't solve the problem. In my USE flag "unicode" is disabled. I'm using ISO-8859-2 encoding. Taking into account that this is an international group, I hope that I'll be able to find someone who experienced similar problems and managed to find a solution. Help would be highly appreciated.
