They ALL look good to me Piotr. Specifically, "latin small letter alpha", Decimal character &# 593; displays perfectly.
 
With the diacritics, I discover it helps if you go for a maxi-font-size.

I see small latin letter open o with (combining letter) combining double grave accent. I wonder if any human language has this.
 
Size of font has no effect on the bandwidth. Making them BIG and BOLD might be a good rule of thumb.
 
I have Netscape 4.7 (a sub-alpha of v. 6 has just been released). I have no problem displaying the fonts. You might try upgrading, Piotr.
 
As for posting technical things like this, I would not worry about junking up the archive, in that the poster as well as the list owner can delete any posting.
