Povray treats the object as if it were a rectangle when used in an object
pattern, which I believe is also what it will do if one types in a ficitious
FAKE.TTF filename.  It's the kind of rectangle you get when you look at the
font viewer for characters not supported.  I suppose I can get some bitmap
and code examples together much later.
