All this is irelevant to determine if the font is usable in POV-Ray 3.1.

a) POV-Ray does not use any Windows code to get the font data.
b) These programs use Windows to draw the font, so see a).
c) Breeze Designer is platform specific, so it knows that it is dealing
with Windows fonts.
d) All three use Windows to draw the font, see c) and a).
e) As said in a previous post, that the font contains certain characters
in a certain mapping does not say POV-Ray can or will use this mapping
when searching for a character.
