First of all, which groff version?

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

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.

. 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.
