Please check your debian-installation: they might have moved the
timrom.ttf out of the expected -L paths in system povray ini file.
(traditional variation is /usr or /usr/local ... distro repackaging sucks)

Quick fix: in your povray.ini ( $HOME/.povray/3.6/povray.ini IIRC), add
line:
-L<path to the directory where timrom.ttf is>


I/O restriction might also be on the way, but it is something I never
use. (I compile my povray myself, so I can disable it)
