Well, the fonts you used are obviously no TrueType fonts as they do not even
contain a TrueType font header. Not every font is a TrueType font. So you
first need to locate TrueType fonts. In Mac OS X these are unfortunately
mostly contained inside Mac OS X specific font container files (also every
version of Mac OS 9 and later can handle plain TrueType fonts just fine).
So you need a converter. Right now I am not aware of any free one that
works with Mac OS X fonts and turns them into TrueType fonts.
Your best chance without using a converter is to force POV-Ray to start in
Mac OS 9. There it will automatically make all TrueType fonts in the
system's font folder available for use (just specify the font name).
