LGTM - did some testing, both with issue-attached Word file and some standard Polish diacritic test sentences and everything seems to work fine.

Question coming from my own curiosity - when you post a sentence containing diacritics (ex. shortest tester for all diacritics in Polish - "Zażółć gęślą jaźń") you can see that some fonts don't support those special characters (ex. Arial Rounded MT Bold on Windows) so as a fallback they are drawn with a different font that supports them. It's quite normal behavior to do so I've seen often, but do you know what is the process for determining which font to use as a replacement in RTA? Is it something we have to worry about?
