Yes, but due to my fault. I did not specify that I am puzzled with text from
POV-Ray on Linux and Mac.

It turned out that it works, but I only have to copy .ttf file to current
directory, because +L won't include Library_Path with fonts on my machine.
(I don't have admin access currently on all systems where I render.)

Copying font is not elegant, but it seems to be transparent for all three
systems and working.

Thank you all for answers.
