Alright, I changed the font to arial, and that made the text visible, 
but it was being interfered with by the fog or something.

I've now stripped everything else out the scene, but I'm missing 
characters now.

"Text size 0.08"   Appears as "T         0 08"

commenting out the global_settings {charset utf8} had no effect.
Changing the font to Times only shows a capital T

Changing it to arial, all caps gives me "TEXT S ZE 0 08"

I am truly bewildered.
