Okay, made an alternative set. If people like these samples, I'll make the changes to all other ogonek-containing characters.

I've used the guidelines I've found for doing so. Euphoria Script is a hybrid font anyway, but I'd like readability first, as I think the base characters contain enough visual flare to keep with the theme.
Thoughts?

These are my proposed shapes for ł, ą and ę. They may need some

Thanks Krzysztof, I like the ogoneks on the a, e, and E, the A however, I'd prefer to stick with traditional ogonek off the right leg/foot of the A, in accordance with:

I'll work up an alternative for this one.
Thanks for your help!

The placement of ogonek on Ą is somewhat unorthodox, but it would be natural to write this way by hand, and I think everyone will recognize it. The loop in Ę may be a little too big. That being said, ą and ę never occur at the start of a word, so Ą and Ę would only ever occur in all-caps words, something we would absolutely never do in our branding.
Best regards, Krzysztof

I have not added any Russian characters, however I am happy to if someone can confirm the cursive version of Russian characters bear any at all resemblence to the english cursive characters. For example, is this chart fairly correct? :

Yes, this looks correct. Note that the joins between а, е, etc. and л, я and м are different than in Latin cursive script - the 'hook' upwards on the left is preserved. I think Alexandre can provide a sample.
To test the extended version of the font with extended character
set, it
can be downloaded here:

- The glyphs for "ł" and "Ł" are incorrect. The ł should have the
stroke on top of the letter, the Ł should have a horizontal stroke through the middle like the pound sign. http://www.twardoch.com/download/polishhowto/stroke.html
- Ą, ą, Ę, ę could also be improved. The extra stroke between the
letter and the hook should not be there, since those are not cedillas. http://www.twardoch.com/download/polishhowto/ogonek.html
