Hello all.

I was rendering a title sequence for a short 'documentary', and found
that accented characters seem to locate different than normal ones. For

position in 'Cordoba'.

I first thought the font might be problematic, but rendering the same
text in the GIMP, using the same font file, gives a correct result. I
tried with different kerning settings there (in GIMP) and the result was
always ok.

Does POVray use a proper kerning algorithm, which might be trown off by
accents?

John

PS: The font is DejaVuSans.ttf,
