The povray for windows version has a bug with some of the windows
international fonts. If you have any such problems, its this. Try a
different japanese font. However, if this is not your problem, why don't
you just tell us what exactly you want to know? Otherwise I'd be posting
messages like this soon:

Has anybody experience in modelling and rendering super realistic and
very cool images?

or rather:

Has anybody experience in making millions of dollars with minimum
investment?

etc.

;)

Has anybody got an answer to the man's question?

Oh, wait... I do.  Try Jon Cruz' Unipatch, at
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Network/4453/unipatch/

Currently available as a Windows binary or a source patch, 
and soon to be part of the superpatch.

Hi!

Should I have stepped on someone's foot?  Sorry for that. You may be
right. If you want it explicit - you'll get it.

Ok. So: I'm running a Intel Pentium on Windows 95 and I am quite an
amateur on rendering. I have installed the MS Office 97 fareast support.
MS Mincho.ttf it is mainly, the proportional truetype font for japanese
texts. Using it as a display font is no problem at all. I use POV 3.1 and
have recently concepted the brilliant idea of bringing two little hobbys
together. Raytracing and Japanese that is. So far, so good.

Using a pre-processor to encode little passages of text into UNICODE as
a first try, then JIS, S-JIS, EUC, OldJIS and so on. The best result I could

get was getting the kanjis changed into katakana - some totally different
part of the font set. I hoped for a workaround for this problem.  {:-(

For your proposal: What "different japanese font". Sadly, the fareast
support leaves you only with this one.   >:-|

Hasta la vista, baby!

   Heinrich

P.S.: If you have posted your global questions - tell me some of the
        best answers. Especially the answeres to the latter one!   ;-)

Nice getting real answers.
But now I feel adding some questions to the little collecition...:

Isn't this man brilliant?

       or

     Is he?


I will look at once for this place.

Thanks again.

OK. If you installed the Far-east support, you have the font you need _if_ you
have a patch with the Unicode font support.

A stock version of POV-Ray will only get at the first 128 characters. Also, it
will get those from the Mac encoding.

With a Unicode patched version, you can use UTF-8 for the Japanese.

So, from looking at that, I can see that the Japanese text needs to be
converted to UTF8.

I assume you are talking about some sort of Windows font. In
professional service bureaus, Kanji fonts are used most commonly and
that PC thing is avoided. It is a Japanese Postscript font family that
can be very easily converted to PC TrueType. The fonts are supplied with
Japanese versions of Adobe software and are available separately.
