I think POV-Ray is just not designed to take anything but vanilla .ttf 
files - but of course it should give you an error message, not a crash, 
if you give it something different (like a suitcase).

Have a look at TTConverter: 
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/4632>

It runs in Classic on PPC Macs, if you're on an Intel Mac use Basilisk 
or SheepShaver.
