What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Try to type the following letters: ą ę ł
What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Glyphs for these letters are not included in the font.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? gb1911-2010.07.03.zip
Please provide any additional information below. The font is fantastic and already has some characters from the Polish alphabet: ć ń ó ś ź ż (the last one comes only in Polish). It would be great if the three missing letters were also available. Sorts Mill Goudy font already includes those letters.
ą ę are used in Kashubian and Lithuanian language as well. ł is used also in Upper Sorbian and Lower Sorbian languages as well as in Belarussian and Ukrainian written in Latin script.

Posted on Nov 25, 2010 by Massive BirdI have no plans to do further work on either of fonts, and instead encourage people to extend the fonts themselves. Adding characters for Esperanto (ĉ ĝ ĥ ĵ ŝ ŭ) was how I got started making fonts. :)
I'm disabled and slow, and so tend not to come out with a range of weights (I think boldface is overused, anyway) or to extend older fonts, so I can devote myself to new projects. Generally I do support for Polish now, and in fact was designing ogoneks for a new font, just yesterday.

Posted on Nov 25, 2010 by Happy HorseToo bad :-( I really love Goudy Bookletter, it's quite thick and very readable and you can easily see it's different than some boring Garamond.

Posted on Nov 25, 2010 by Massive BirdThe commercial version LTC Kennerley Pro has a full set of characters, but it is lighter in color and isn't free software.
I tend to prefer lighter coloration these days than I used to, actually, and also typefaces that are more "anonymous", and so think of GB1911 and Prociono as belonging to an earlier period.
