A pre-composed character is a single character containing both the letter and the accent. A combining character is a "zero-width" accent character that's combined with the base letter character to produce an accented letter when rendered. But it looks like most of the Polish translations are in iso-8859-2, which doesn't include combining characters. > > > Any hints? Suggestions?

It isn't. If this were a problem of missing characters, then "Ż" would become "", not "Z". I've just checked unifont.bdf, though, and it does include an accent for character U+017B. Is it possible this was a bug in the translation that was later fixed? > I tried to commit pl file, but seems that there is something wrong with > svn.debian.org.
