For the record.

After some testing where I did not see any axis aligned seams / 
artefacts, I've decided to pull the text{} rotation patch from the 
parser. This no-patch trial will start with release R19 of my yuqk
playpen fork rather than just making the rotation smaller.

Question.

Has anyone successfully used a true type collection (.ttc file) with 
recent (V3.7/V3.8) official POV-Ray versions?

These always crash with the .ttc files I have easy access to. Namely, 
large CJK collections. These are also not capturing multiple styles, but 
region specific glyph differences - maybe that is somehow an issue for 
the current code.

The support for .ttc files was always limited to the first packaged .ttf 
font found in the collection. We have no ability to pick which font in a 
collection gets used. I'm considering dropping support for reading true 
type collection files near term in the yuqk fork, but if it is working 
for others, maybe I leave it as is.
