Thanks, Stephen, than helped a bit.  Now at least the characters that render 
are the ones I expect to see.  Mostly...

Some of the characters still don't render, though.  For example, if I try to 
render the string "abcdefg" for one font I get the 'a' through 'f', but the 
'g' comes out as one of those little empty boxes.  (For different fonts the 
missing letter is something different. This is just an example.  And this 
problem does NOT happen for MOST fonts types.)  Using the same font in 
another tool shows the 'g' to be there as normally as all the other 
characters.  Also, in the Windows Font folder, if you double-click the 
font's ttf file, you can see all the characters that are defined for the 
font, and the 'g' is certainly one of them.

Some of the fonts I have only have definitions for the letters, some of them 
only for the upper case or only the lower case letters.  I'm not trying to 
render in POV-Ray letters that are not defined in the font.

It still seems that there's a text/font rendering problem in POV-Ray.
