I know what you mean.
Polish is like Czech a bit tricky because it has shapes that needs special
treatment and thought. The most obvious are the slashes and ogoneks (Ł ł ą Ą
etc. ). The use of w and other diagonals is different and requires extra care
as well.
Including Polish should not be a problem. It should just be an explicit part of
the brief if you do commission a font.
