See p.b-t.b !


#include "colors.inc"

camera
   {
   orthographic
   up y * 60
   right x * 80
   location z * -100
   look_at 0
   }

difference
   {
   plane
      {
      -z 0
      pigment{color White}
      finish{ambient 1}
      }
   text
      {
      ttf "signetro" "POV" 0.001 0
      scale 35
      translate <-35, -10, -0.0001>
      pigment{color Red}
      finish{ambient 1}
      }
   }


This creates a text engraved into a plane. (Please note that a plane is
a solid object.) "Signet Roundhand" is a handwriting-like font, so the
letters are big and overlap each other.
But the left part of the letter "P" is cut of. It seems to be a
bounding problem. And where the letters overlap, there are many "noisy
pixels". They were not patterned when I used the perspective camera
instead of the orthographic one.
It occures with the VC++ compile, too.
