I've tried many fonts, the effect is always the same. Standard fonts
like Arial, Tahoma, Vedana all have Polish glyphs. The problem is that
Tkinter selects wrong glyphs for non-ASCII chars. It's not the font
issue as text on Button widget appears correctly

As I said I don't have mac osx. I just expect my Python script to be
portable and behave the same on both Windows and OSX, but It isn't.
