It's not in the index under
font
font files (*.ttf)
text object

It's not in the Search results for
font
ttf

Ah, I see, if you already know the answer, you can find this obscure aspect
of fonts by searching for:
charset

And then one of the options eventually answers our friend's question
precisely:
"The option utf8 is a special Unicode text encoding and it allows you to
specify characters of nearly all languages in use today"

But for the question I had before,  trying to get a "D" to show up with a
cheap freeware font when 2-3 povray-supplied or Windows-supplied fonts have
worked fine,  the docs are in fact crap for answering the question.
