Try charset ISO-8859-1 (Western) ... This may or may not solve the 
problem, but its worth a shot, since I believe this is the charset most 
windows files are saved in. It could also be a limitation of POV-Ray in 
and of itself. Question: Does it work on PNG or JPG files? If so, it 
could be a limitation of the BMP library POV-Ray is using.
