Specifics of Polish DTP
The way you document looks like is influenced not only by its contents, but also by the specifics of the writing system used. The Polish language employs the Latin Polish alphabet. See further how it may influence the layout of your materials.
Text spacing
Polish letters are not joined within a word (i.e. not a cursive script), at least not obligatory. It means that spacing between letters can be applied relatively safely, if the design calls for it.
Font
Polish uses 8 additional, non-standard Latin letters, that may not be shared with other variaties of the same writing system. If you wish to use a specific font, it is important that it supports these symbols.
Appearance
The language is written in the left-to-right fashion. If the original text was in a language with the opposite writing direction, the overall layout should be mirrored in the process of desktop publishing.
The average word length in Polish is 8 letters, which is 1 character longer than the average. This usually means that a translated text becomes vertically (and possibly horizontally) longer. It is not recommended to break words into multiple lines in typeset documents, so more words end up being pushed to the next line. Hence the additional vertical height of the text.
