How could the OS ray-trace a TrueType font character?  If it could, POV-Ray
would not be needed.  The OS can draw the text on screen for itself and
other application correctly because it knows all the users settings, but
POV-Ray has to take the raw TrueType font file, read it, analyze it and make
a 3D object out of it.

In any case, did you try my suggestion?  Did you check Jon's suggestion if
"notepad" really write a UTF-8 text file?
