I want to render text in "Arial Black", but Povray won't accept it as

  ttf "arial black.ttf" "some text".

I also tried "arialblack" and "arial_black", but none seems to be recognized.
How can I use this font?

I think you need "ariblk.ttf"

Correct. Thanks a bunch. How did you know that? Is there a reference for
(non-standard) TTFs in Povray?

Go into your Fonts directory in Windows and click on the fonts. It 
should telld you the file name.
