When it works right. The "sharp corners" part, you know...I'm trying to 
think of a good way to automatically make a mesh out of a text object, 
which could solve this problem, but I don't think it can be done very 
well in plain POV-Script.

And a slightly updated version(computes the proper bounding, takes the 
font file as a parameter) is in povray.text.scene-files.
