Now everything seems cool, but Polish diacritic signs aren't antialiased. It
seems like emacs is using another font to display them.


This is usual behaviour. Although (only) *some* fonts stretch from some glyph to another glyph without gap GNU Emacs sub-divides this range into charsets, see for example charset-script-alist or char- script-table. So it can use either this or either that font. This behaviour is IMO *regular* in the initial (the first) frame. This one is set up for me with a bit-mapped font, while the default frames will use a scalable TrueType font. In order to prevent this font switching you would need to set up a fontset that sets a font for all charsets/encodings ...

In any case you can position the mouse cursor on a glyph and type C-u C-x =. In *Help* buffer you'll see a description. Now repeat for the other glyph. The *Help* buffer has hyper-link button [forward] and [back] – so you better do *not* kill the *Help* buffer.

You can also invoke 'M-x describe-fontset RET RET'. The output is not that easily to understand.

Which Emacs.FontBackend X resource are you using?
