This code works in POVRay 3.1
3.5 complains about not being able to open the font file (wingdings.ttf) -
Other standard fonts seem to work. Most of my downloaded TTF files don't
work either, but that's ok - as long as the official Microsoft ttf's work...

can anyone confirm?

I don't use any other include files than colors.inc - so you can test this
code on 3.1 and 3.5.

Are you sure you wrote font name properly ?
There are two standard microsoft fonts
"Webdings.ttf" and "wingding.ttf".

btw: when you post some source to show problem try to make it as short as
possible

That does not make much sense, your problem is obviously related to the
ttf files, i presume they are not accessible in Library_Path, check the
docs (section 6.5.1.13) concerning this.  Library_Path settings probably
differ in your 3.1 and 3.5 configuration. If you are working on Linux note
that file names are case sensitive.

Yeah, sorry 'bout the long code...it's just the scene i was working on
as-is.
I was about to start with a story about me not being stupid and knowing the
difference between webdings and wingdings - but alas WingDing is right!

Thanks.

Problem -is- related to ttf files, but not the Library_Path settings.
I can't use this font even if I explectly define the file location.
