First of all, which groff version?

I have started to use groff some time ago. I use it to generate
document in Polish language.  I have installed Polish font Quasi
Times and I use to generate documents macro latin2.  But as you can
see in attached document that there is a problem with justification
to the both sides while there is polish letters in a line. When you
compile the same document without macro latin2 justification problem
disappears but there are no Polish letters.

It seems to me that the problematic character is the `ł'.

Is the problem with Quasi Times font or with groff?

I think it's a problem with the font, or rather, with the creation of
groff metric files.  For some reason, it appears that the slashed l
has a far too small width.

How can I fix that problem?

. Check the advance width of `ł' in the fonts AFM file.  It should be
  (approximately) the same as with `l'.

. Check the output of afmtodit.  Again the glyph entity `/l' should
  have (approximately) the same width as `l'.

If this doesn't help please send me the font (compressed!) for further
investigation.
