On my WinXP 2GHz DualCore with 1 GB RAM I have the following problem:
#include "colors.inc"
camera {
location < 0.0, 0.0,-10.0 >
direction < 0.0, 0.0, 3.5 >
up < 0.0, 1.0, 0.0 >
right < 3.2, 0.0, 0.0 >
look_at < 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 >
}
light_source { <-30, 21,-20 > color White }
text {
translate x*-1.6
pigment { color Yellow}
finish { ambient 0.4 }
}
Should render a yellow A, followed by a B and terminated by the
copyright symbol. Only A and B appears. This problem has been around for
some ten years now and I just wonder when (if) it will be addressed and
fixed.

3.2.2.7.2 Text Formatting
I'm not sure why you would think that requiring an escape
sequence for special characters is a bug.
text {ttf "arial.ttf" "AB\u00a9" 1, 0 pigment {Yellow}}

Thank you for your polite solution. How nice that it took ten years for
someone with your level of politeness to tell me that. Last time, there
was talk of a bug and that it has been changed to a "raw" input of
symbols was new for me.
But, thank you for your help.

Hello, I had a problem finding this in the docs, as I have all the time
been referencing 3.4.1.13, so no wonder.... But, anyway, the solution
works like a charm! Thank you!

Now that we determined that
text {ttf "arial.ttf" "AB\u00a9" 1, 0 pigment {Yellow}}
should render any printable Unicode character, I went on and tried this:
text {ttf "arial.ttf" "AB\u00F8" 1, 0 pigment {Yellow}}
rendered correctly in this forum). I did get the German double "s" or
Greek "Beta" (Unicode 0x00DF, so something isn't quite keeping up here.
Me? Perhaps, that's why I ask for help :-) Well, since this seems odd, I
went on and did a "dir" on my fonts folder for Arial files.
C:\WINDOWS\Fonts>dir ar*
Volumet i stasjon C er Peregrin
Volumserienummeret er AC21-8533
Innhold i C:\WINDOWS\Fonts
2004-08-04 14:00 367 112 arial.ttf

13 fil(er) 25 313 160 byte
0 mappe(r) 12 030 013 440 byte ledig
C:\WINDOWS\Fonts>
Find the odd-looking file ;-) I replaced the line and now it reads:
text {ttf "arialuni.ttf" "AB\u00F8" 1, 0 pigment {Yellow}}
And my Norwegian character is now what it should be.
Thanky you "nomail" and Tim Attwood for pointing me in the right direction.
