  Problem w/ Text object font (Message 1 to 2 of 2)

Hello,
    I'm trying to use a text object with the strider font (strr59w.ttf,
not sure where I got it). The character mapping seems to be a bit
off. If I try and render "bdfhjln" it shows up as 1234567. The Ariel
font works fine.
Is this a known bug? Anyway around it?

Thanks,

There is a known bug with fonts. My experience with it
has been in the use of special characters (like those used
in foreign languages- German, Russian, ect..) but your
font may also exhibit these problems too. This only appears
on the windows version of Pov and should not affect the
other platforms.
