Not so easy. Polish uses iso-8859-2. Due to limitation of most X apps,
the keyboard mapping maps - for instance - Alt-A to plusminus which has
the same code in iso-8859-1 as aogonek in iso-8859-2.
When the application uses iso-8859-2 X font all looks allright. I do not
know why dia happened to use such a font - I guess some KDE defaults.

Take a look at the two files attached to this letter. First one is (bad)
the postscript generated by netscape, second one is the result of
ogonkify'ing it. The file contains all polish characters.
BTW: if you have a2ps installed, you probably have ogonkify too - with
the permission of author it is distributed as part of a2ps package.
