I have just downloaded the latest Win32 build from povray.org
    Version 3.1g Watcom.win32 (Pentium II optimized)

Unfortunately the "text" feature seems to no longer work...

Using the following code...

light_source
{
  <5000, 5000, 5000>
  colour 1
}

camera
{
  location <0, -1, 1000>
  direction <8,0,0>
  up z
  right <0, -1.333, 0>
  sky z

  look_at <0, 0, 0>
}

text
{
 ttf "c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf"
 "abcABC12345"
 0.01
 0
 scale 20
 translate <-70, 0, 0>
 pigment {colour rgb<1, 1, 1> }
}

I get loads of unprintable characters and the following warnings...

Character 97 (0x61) not found in c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf
Character 99 (0x63) not found in c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf
Character 65 (0x41) not found in c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf
Character 67 (0x43) not found in c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf
Character 49 (0x31) not found in c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf
Character 50 (0x32) not found in c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf

Character 52 (0x34) not found in c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf
Character 53 (0x35) not found in c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf

... Help!?
