I found that orthographic view in povray is not accurate. When I draw a box,
I get some curve at the edge, and the upper face and the lower face look
unparallel. Is there anyway I can make the image more accurate?

Thanks.

  An example scene could help.

-- 
main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

Perhaps your monitor isn't too well adjusted?

I've never had such problems. I've used the ortho camera for web stuff
like buttons and toolbars and other important tasks and it has proven
itself trustworthy. Are you sure your monitor's geometry (pincushion,
trapezoid, rotation) is calibrated? :)

Are you sure the lines are not parallel? You mention that they don't 'look'
parallel, but did you actually measure them?

A sample source and image would help.
