The font selection dialog box of POV-Ray for Windows essentially lists
all(*) _monospaced_ fonts currently installed. Andika is a proportional
font, so you can't select it.

The editor preferences dialog is part of the 3rd party component used
for the GUI editor (CodeMax), and the restriction to monospaced fonts is
hard-coded in there. (The actual font selection dialog is a Windows
component.)


(*Almost all, that is; printer fonts and fonts with non-horizontal
writing directions are also excluded.)
