fwiw, I tried it with the suggested font and got similar problems (windows
XP)


with a test string of

#declare testStringJA = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890";

with charset UTF-8 I got warning messages of

if you change the charset to ascii, you get a crash. Fair enough.


Maybe Povray does not support all possible valid TTFs or maybe some of them
are invalid.. maybe you just have to do a test render of the full alphabet
to find out .. perhaps the experts can tell us.
