OK, I've added an Encoding option to the KTTS Festival Interactive plugin.  
Please give the Polish voice a try and let me know how it is working.  Be 
sure that ISO 8859-2 is set (which should auto default).  I don't speak 
Polish, but it seems to be working.

It is still speaking punctuation however.  Need to figure out a good solution 
to this.  Ought to be fixed in the voice/synth, I think.  Will email 
festival-talk mailing list for advice.

One thing I have noticed is that Festival does not seem to honor (work with)  
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and sending it utf8 text.

Still need to look into this some more.  When you run KTTSMgr/KTTSD, do you 
have LANG=pl_PL.iso8859-2 ?

Its on the TODO list.
