Hello Carleton,

I think it is not so difficult to set up a scene with POVRAY to get
something similar.

Just use a basic scene and add 2 lines with a text object, e.g.

text { ttf "timrom.ttf", "PP", 0.5, 0 pigment { White }}
text { ttf "wingdng3.ttf", "Q", 0.05, 0 rotate <90,45,0> scale 3 translate
<-1.25,0.35,0.25> pigment { White }}


A little tweaking will be necessary, but that won't be too hard to do.

Greetings, em-sigma
