I tried a text object of double-byte ttf in Japanese Microsoft Windows.  

POV-Ray 3.5beta can not read standard Japanese Windows double-byte 
fonts because those fonts are "TTC (collection of TrueType fonts in 
one file)", which has additional font headers.  

It would be easy to fix this problem (if the source code is available).

I made a patch of TTC fonts for POV-Ray 2 and 3.1.  This patch is
based on Kochin Chang's double-byte support.  The source code
for v3.1 is available in the isosurface patch (J) at
http://www.etl.go.jp/etl/linac/public/rsuzuki/j/povray/iso/pov3isos.zip
