uh, Ken?  0x73 is a lowercase t.  Nothing special there.  

POV reads the font tables and such directly rather than depending on 
operating system support, so it may be that the fonts this happens
with are either nonstandard or "differently standard" as regards the
tables and the representation thereof.  Are these fonts perhaps a
newer format than the original Truetype specification, or perhaps
Unicode?
