It looks like your problem is:

Slovak contains Unicode characters that are not in the default processing font.

In order to display those characters correctly, use createFont and textFont (or just textFont) as per @GoToLoop's example.

• https://processing.org/reference/textFont_.html

Indeed Processing's default font is enough to display accented characters. :-bd
Only for the ancient Chinese text under Java Mode I had to pick another font, such as ("Roman"). :-\"
