Ok, that works as advertised. But I stumbled upon a new wrinkle.

I want to apply the 2D text to a flat object: disc, plane, sheet of paper,
or im my case a mesh.
(I'm looking the the scroll object at
                http://lib.povray.org/searchcollection/index.php     }

I've even succeeded in getting the text to run cross-wise or along the
length of the scroll. No code to share yey, it is very rough. Problem is
that the text 'bleeds through' and is visible from both sides of the
object.

Is there some way to apply a pigment to the 2D text and a different pigment
to the surrounding area including the opposite side, or maybe even a 3rd
pigment to the opposite side alone?
