It may have to do with the fact that POV-Ray code is designed to only
read ASCII code, and the original ASCII definition is only specific for
the lower 128 character codes. There are font type that even though
they are acceptable to most apps pov has very specific requirements
in this regard.

If you really have to have those fonts used in your scene there is
an alternative. A program called Elefont will accept all ttf's
and output to pov script in mesh format. Check it out at:
