There is nothing special about Polish characters, if the fonts that you are referencing contain them, they will be displayed. (provided, you correctly reference them).
Custom firmwares (I wouldn't call PRS+ "russification", it doesn't focus on any particular locale) could help you in way that you won't need to edit every epub file.

Kartu,
If you've never changed epubs before, it's not a well-known procedure. You have to research to find some instructions, and then you have to try to understand them. We're not all born knowing all about epubs without ever having to learn anything, like you were.
I'm not doing things "randomly". I tried to follow the instructions. I rechecked my work. Several times. I sought out other sets of instructions to double check. I thought I'd done it right, but it still didn't work. Perhaps the instructions are wrong? It sure wouldn't be the first time that someone on the internet was wrong.
So I tried some other things. It's good to try other things before you start screaming for help - that's how you learn.
I didn't know (and still don't know) where the /Data part of the path comes from, and that whole path came from the instructions that I thought might be wrong; it's not something that already existed in the CSS file. So I tried leaving it out. It didn't help, but I figured it was worth a shot, and it's easy to put back. And Jackie pointed out my syntax error with the semicolons, which I fixed by adding the suggested semicolon, and taking out the one at the end which, based on how the file looked before I edited it, I had misplaced.
I got the term "Russification" from this forum, people have used it to describe the custom firmware. I haven't installed custom firmware and since I don't know how to recover if it doesn't work, I'm not going to do it at this time. Maybe later.
I apologize if my vocabulary usage fails to meet your exacting standards. It's because I'm stupid, you see. Please forgive me for failing to be born with the epub spec already in my head.
Now, back to the font thing. I will get this, I will...
