I downloaded a cheap font,  CLOWNS.TTF, and tried to use one of the
characters as a text object that was then used in an object pattern.  No
matter what letter I used in the command, I ended up with the same
character.  The font seemed to work okay in Wordpad.   Are cheap fonts just
prone to be misread by povray?

sample code below.

#declare blacktext=texture{pigment {Yellow} finish{phong 0.4 }}
#declare Mobj=  text {ttf "CLOWNS.ttf" "a" 1, 0  scale 0.75*<-1,1,3>  scale
10 translate <-2.5,6.2,0>  }

#declare clothtext1=
texture{object{Mobj
        texture{clothtext}
        texture{blacktext}}
         }
