Confirmed (ubuntu Lucid amd64 / 10.4) with povray 3.7beta38 (simile)
Seems specific to that font and the one in that directory (or tree ?)
 (tested with a different fonts in my drive, worked fine).

Font analysis might be welcome... If only I knew what to do.

Fontforge display it with blue sides, wonder if it's some kerning, and
if it matters. Or maybe it's the HUGE number of chars in the font ?
