I downloaded a cheap font, CLOWNS.TTF, and tried to use one of the
characters as a text object that was then used in an object pattern. No
matter what letter I used in the command, I ended up with the same
character. The font seemed to work okay in Wordpad. Are cheap fonts just
prone to be misread by povray?
sample code below.
#declare blacktext=texture{pigment {Yellow} finish{phong 0.4 }}
#declare Mobj= text {ttf "CLOWNS.ttf" "a" 1, 0 scale 0.75*<-1,1,3> scale
10 translate <-2.5,6.2,0> }
#declare clothtext1=
texture{object{Mobj
texture{clothtext}
texture{blacktext}}
}

It depends,
from what I see is this:
1. No camera Definition
2. No Lightsource
3. clothtext texture not defined.

Sorry, see:
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/30955/
I didn't want to include all of the files. My system is getting a bit
complicated.
The guy on the left has the letter "a" as a text object object pattern. No
matter what letter I type in there, it always shows the same character from
the font file. I think however that the font file works okay in Wordpad.

Are you somehow redfineing something later on that causes "a" to be used?
Have you tried using a different font within this same exact povray code and
does it work then? Have you saved the file after changing "a" to whatever
you want?

Okay, get the CLOWNS.TTF font at:
http://desktoppub.about.com/library/fonts/db/uc_clownsketches.htm
and then compare how timrom.ttf works vs. CLOWNS.TTF with *this* code:
#declare shirtpig=pigment{rgb 0.4*< 0.3, 0.6,0.6>}
#declare clothtext=texture{pigment{shirtpig} normal {bumps scale
0.1}finish{ambient 1}}
#declare logopig=pigment{rgb <0.7,.9,0.9>}
#declare blacktext=texture{pigment {logopig} finish{phong 0.4 ambient 1 }}
#declare Mobj= text {ttf "CLOWNS.ttf" "D" 1, 0 scale 0.75*<-1,1,3>
translate 0*<-0.25,0,-0.25> scale 10 }
//#declare Mobj= text {ttf "timrom.ttf" "e" 1, 0 scale 0.75*<-1,1,3>
translate 0*<-0.25,0,-0.25> scale 10 }
#declare clothtext1=
texture{object{Mobj
texture{clothtext}
texture{blacktext}}
}
sphere {0,10 texture{clothtext1 } }
camera {location -10*z }
