I assume you mean a font with a Polish keyboard assignment? I suspect the actual installation of the font is the same as any other font installation, but I'm on a Mac so I won't answer about the details.
However, USING the font in Quark I can address. I have had to do a couple of workarounds to use foreign languages in Quark (on a Mac). (The Official Method is to purchase Quark Passport for €€€ more). Quark doesn't support foreign keyboard arrangements, so what I've had to do is either 1) learn all the unusual accents and their key combinations or 2) create a second font with hidden character combinations (like accent-y, thorn, L-bar, etc.) which I can call up when one of the special characters occurs.
Fortunately for me, these are only used for an occasional name in the midst of English copy. Unfortunately for you, you will probably have to go through several hoops to get longer copy to match up. It's about time Quark dealt with the issue for our increasingly global economy, but it probably won't if it interferes with the sal€s of Passport.
Hope this helps, or if not, hope it's at least interesting.
