Scaling the vertical component down to +/- 1, and making it a little thinner
got me to where I need to be.. Thanks! :)

It should be in p.b.scene-files (entitled mobius macro):
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.scene-files/message/%3Cweb.457d66a665d69017c150d4c10%40news.povray.org%3E/#%3Cwe

Let me know if you still don't see it.

You should always obfuscate your e-mail address. Adding spacesm, or dots, or
dashes, or ??? is a possibility, as well as adding anything that is easily
notisable by somebody but not by a harvest bot.
This NG is prety clean, but you never know. Beter be to prudent than sory with
an inbox overflowing with spam.

It should be present in most unicode fonts sets at the same place.

Also in arialuni.ttf (same code) and in symbols.ttf

It showed up here about an hour ago, thanks. Still playing with things..
I have this taking so long to run, that I only have looked at the pretraces
in the last two days..
The heart isosurface has a glitch that I'm trying to take out without making
it too hideously long to trace.

Or not. The e-mail in my From: is valid, bot strangely, spambots seems to be
unable to see it, because although I use it on Usenet since several years, I
only got 5 spams through it last month, out of a total of almost 25000 spams
on my various addresses. Of course, the part after the dollar is not a valid
address; the administrator of the MX server tells me it produces a lot of
bounces.
