  AFAIK for utf8 to work with a ttf file the file has to have unicode
mapping info in them. Most modern fonts do, but some very old ones probably
don't.

  And then, if you want a non-ascii character you have to give it to
povray utf8-encoded. For this you need an editor which supports editing
a utf8-encoded text file (no, I don't know if the winpov editor supports
this; my guess is that it doesn't). I don't know right now of a unix editor
which supports utf8 encoding.

  Utf8 is an encoding for unicode characters which is different from
the most common ISO-8859-1 encoding (which only supports character
codes between 32 and 255) with all characters which code is >127.
