And if you really like just Bitstream/BeOS fonts and don't wish to use M$ fonts even in Terminal-only (it doesn't affect BeOS as whole) - i have solution for you - i found once pack with Bitsream fonts - same as BeOS native, but with WGL4 (Pan-European) glyph set. I sahred it on BeShare under name btfonts.zip or usch and lot of people dowloaded it.
Little notice - those fonts work fine under DanO, but under R5 cyrillic chars sometimes appear too far from baseline, which renders such glyphs to be invisible.
Hope it does not happen with "ogonjok-s".

now i understand - you don't wish to set "non-BeOS" font(e.g. Courier New) as Terminal Font (and save settings:).

I fixed that in Vision many months ago, just for reference.

BeOS fons don't have entries for " a, " "e, " z*" " z' " " s' " " n' " We want to use native fonts on the whole system whithout changing Swiss721 to Arial or Verdana or MS Sans Seriff. So when BeOS font doesn't have appropriate char it takes it from Arial. EKG is written for Linux using ISO 8859-2, so we have to set ISO Latin 2 in Terminal. With standars setting without overlay in Mozilla, Terminal, Tracker and so on we have rectangles instead of letters with 'ogonek'.

I'm really wondering why this mapping in Font Prefereces is needed while you already set ISO-***-2 in Terminal and have WGL4 TrueType font like Arial from MS/Monotype.
This is not rant, but attempt to understand situation and help - I'm quite competent in BeOS i18n problems:) - search for "fyysik" on BeBits.
Usually such hacks are neccessary for application with hardcoded ISO-****-1 like Opera or Vision.
Btw, i prepared specially hacked Times New Roman CE for BeOS (to serve similar purposes) and sharing it on BeShare - ask your polish friends there :) - and planning, some day, to prepare full "BeOS compatibility font pack" - for Central and Eastern Europe, Baltic, all Cyrillic encodings, and maybe Turkish, Hebrew and Arabic.

Well, this hack with overlay is the fastest way to get Polish chars ("ogonki"). With BeOSes pre R5.1 we would have to modify all BeOS fonts maunally - adding chars 'a,' 'e,' 'l/'' 'z*' etc. and mapping them. As you can see on screenshot there is difference between normal terminal font and Arial, however all Polish letters are visible. It is Dano :) (we want to release our own BeOS distribution based on Dano, currently I have problem with porting BeKaffe 1.0.7 Java VM)

"Preferences -> Fonts -> Overlay ->"
I'm wondering if all Polish BeOS users use Dan0/PhOS/Zeta :)
