Incorrect Polish characters

Hi!

I'm considering switching to this font for all languages, but found a couple problems for Polish:


  1. The "accent" mark for the capital "Ó" should appear fully above the character, just like with "Ć", "Ń", "Ś" and "Ź"
  2. The lower-case "ę" has a dot on top, rather than a hook underneath. The hook should look similar to the one on "ą"

This image from the Wikipedia may be helpful:


Thanks!

Oh, one more thing that isn't incorrect, but it's definitely inconsistent! The "accent" mark (it's not really an accent mark, the letters with marks are unique characters in Polish) on the lower-case "ó" is a pixel higher than the same mark on any of the other lower-case characters like "ć", "ń", "ś" and "ź":


Can you give us the actual character IDs you're using? Polish uses some scattered characters across more than 1 block, so please paste the actual characters in question


Thanks!

Sure, I can try! I'm typing the Polish characters on my keyboard with a Polish layout, so I'm not sure the best way to look them up, but I found this website where I can just type them into the search bar: https://unicodelookup.com/

For the 3 characters mentioned above:

  1. Capital "Ó" = U+00D3
  2. Lower-case "ę" = U+0119
  3. Lower-case "ó" = U+00F3

If you know a better way to look up the codes, please let me know!

Thanks for the great font :-)

Please add this character used in Old Polish: $A7C0 and $A7C1. It is obtained by the letter o combined with the tails at the top and bottom. Note that in the below image, the missing character has been highlighted in red.
