These objects are all derived directly from the standard POV-Ray fonts 
cyrvetic.ttf and timrom.ttf.  No hand construction of glyphs was 
involved.  I first created image maps from text{} objects using trace() 
(literally millions of calls), then used the image maps in isosurface 
functions.  The technique is slow to be sure, but it doesn't leave 
corner artifacts like Bevelled_Text() in shapes.inc does, and it can 
also create rounded edges, which Bevelled_Text() cannot do.

I am working on a tutorial for this technique.
