Hi all,

When rendering some text using a True Type Font called Metrostyle in Povray
3.5, it renders strange characters (i.e. "Hello" becomes "$66#")

My code snippet is below

Any help greatly appreciated

  #include "colors.inc"
  background{LightSteelBlue}
  camera {
    angle 60
    location <0,0,-10>
    look_at <0,0,0>
  }
  light_source { <20, 50, -100> color White}
  light_source { <0, 0, 0> color White}

// Stick text in middle of image
//----------------------------- 
      text { ttf "metr75.ttf" "Hello" 0.3, 0
      pigment { GreenCopper }
      finish { reflection 0.1 specular 1 }
      translate -3*x
      translate -0.2*y
      translate -1.5 *z
      scale 0.8*y
      scale 0.8*x
      no_shadow
    }
//-----------------------------
