Hi Bruno. A much delayed response from me, for you...

The thing about using rad_def.inc is that you still need to set
ambient_light in global_settings to 0, or a small number, because of how
radiosity affects usually dark shadowed places. With default ambience you
see an additive effect. Attached is a rendering using that change and also a
light_source rgb 1.5 instead of the usual <1,1,1>. Just happens to be
something I do a lot to mimic brightly lit scenes for better contrast and
intensity. Not necessarily a *golden rule* for POV-Ray though.

If you are having problems with a ttf file it could be needing a 'charset'
in global_settings. Check your Help documentation section 6.11.6 for
information about that. Possible settings are ascii, utf8 and sys (see also
global_settings section 6.11).

Edit: hopefully my first reply cancelled okay. I had forgotten to mention
 I also changed recursion_limit in rad_def.inc from 1 to 2.
