Here's a simple scene file to display all the characters for reference (16 x 9
aspect ratio).

the good news, it works for v3.7.0.8 (and a v3.7.1-alpha). the bad news, does
not work with v3.7.1-rc1 and later (on GNU/Linux).  anyway, thanks + cheers.


regards, jr.

Sorry about the failure. There's more information here:
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/thread/%3Cweb.624c0826fffed05bc26296d607c1b34%40news.povray.org%3E/

The charset thing isn't necessary and it just got copy-and-pasted from another
scene. Thanks for letting me know.

Have an awesome day,
Dave Blandston

Win10/11: In the include file, I commented-out lines 4061-4063, and the 
render was correct.

Thanks for your work!

I understand just barely enough about what's going on that I should have thought
to suggest that. Here's a possible way to restore the functionality that
commenting out those lines removes, if you happen to want to change settings and
make a new text object within the same scene - you can #declare new settings
(MOP_Gap, MOP_Space, MOP_FontRadius, and/or MOP_UseFrenchQuoteMarks) then
#include the file again. That's inefficiency on a Microsoft scale, but it will
probably work as a temporary fix.

You're very welcome! I'm happy to contribute where I can and I greatly
appreciate what everyone here shares!

Kind regards,
Dave Blandston
