Hi Guys and girls, the little polish deli here needing some help. We are building a website but we want to also write on the pages in Polish, does anyone know where we can get the Polish alphabet font from without changing my keyboard. Please take a look at our site as I try to update it daily, have a good one and keep smiling thelittlepolishdeli.com .
Thanks for that Wojt, didn't expect a reply straight away, ok found it but cannot seem to make shortcut keys, think i'll have to get Beata to write in ink for me to find them.
You make shortcut keys for your convenience (so that you don't have to go to insert, symbol, etc.) every time you want a Polish letter. To make a shortcut key first select (highlight) the Polish letter, then click on the "Shortcut Key..." button, "press new shortcut key" (for example for the letter "ą" choose Alt+a - first press the button "Alt" and then the letter a). Then click on the assign button and you're done. Now everytime you click Alt + the letter "a" - the Polish letter "ą" should appear.
Hello, Can anyone tell me where I can get a free download of Polish alphabet TTF files? Alternatively can anyone send me a copy of some TTF files for the Polish alphabet? thanks Regards
I have a similar problem. I use swishmax2 to make a web page with Polish letters. In my Microsoft Word, it works well, such as Ą = alt+0260 with html is okay also. But in swishmax, it does not work.
Thanks. This information on key assignment in Word has been a really big help. Is there a similiar key assignment available in Outlook Express for emails or do I have to write it in Word and copy paste to Outlook Express?
1. From Start menu, select Settings then Control Panel. 2. Start Regional Options. 3. Click on Languages tab. 4. Click Details.. 5. Click Add and choose Polish (programers) , not polish(214) !!
Now you can choose between English Keyborad Layout and Polish Keyboard Layout to use in Windows. Polish letter: ALT+l = ł ALT+L=£ ALT+C = Ć etc..
translated from Polish WinXP so not every word may be accurate. I hope it helps a little.
As Posith indicates, adding the Polish language is the best thing to do because you then can have the Polish alphabet available in virtually all programs. MS Work, Excel, etc.
Also, you can switch back and forth in the middle of document between languages.
There is a good article written by Grzegorz Jagodziński about setting this up at:
Beata and Mark --' I am on a similar search for a friend. He has even considered buying a computer from Poland. For a Polish web page the MS word option hasn't worked for me. I need the font to be Polish in the notepad. And easy to type. Mr. Jagodyinski's article is a little too deep for me but I will pass it on to somebody more knowledgeable. Meanwhile, are there any easy solutions for somebody who wants to have a Polish web page? Everybody I have asked is cursing the difficulty. thanks!
Spend $50 and have your local computer repair shop or dealer install the Polish Language set. Or do it yourself. It is very easy. Go to Microsoft help from your Start Menu and input "language."
This is what it says:
"To switch languages or keyboards from the taskbar
Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.
On the Languages tab, under Text services and input languages, click Details.
Under Preferences, click Language Bar.
In the Language Bar Settings dialog box, select the Show additional Language bar icons in the Notification area check box.
Click OK three times.
Click the language icon or the keyboard icon on the taskbar to display a menu. Click a language or keyboard."
Dear F15guy '' thanks. I am in europe right now and have just ordered a polish keyboard through a friend, that should make it easier I hope. I remember last time our computer was set up for Polish (the settings were lost) I had to get help and PAID for it of course because in trying to do it myself i had screwed up some settings. Anyway, if this works I will let you know.
Thank you. That was really helpful. For someone like me, who doesn't need to use these letters all the time, it's much easier to paste this list at the top of my Word document and then cut and paste each letter as I need it. Sounds like a lot of work, but again, I'm only using it sporadically. I'm going to really impress my relatives!
paczka I meant to thank paczka for the info!!! Sorry - new to this site.
Hey Wojt, You are a lifesaver! I've been using my laptop for a year and never knew it had the Polish font on it. I need it urgently to do some random translation, and your post has saved the day.
