There is a patched version of POV-Ray v3.1 that *should* be able to
handle this type of font. You will have to have use this custom
executable pvengine.exe file instead of the one that comes with
the official version of the program. I am not positive it will
work but if I understand the problem correctly it should. This
patch will also have all of the features that comes with the
official version so you can use the new features avaiable in
POV-Ray v3.1.

You can download this patch from the following location (bottom of page)-
