I've noticed that, starting with POV 3.1, POV is much pickier about 
fonts in differences. You don't mention what font you're using, but you 
might try one of the ones that come with POV (unless you *are*, in which 
case this diagnosis is wrong).

I've noticed the trouble most with Bahamas, which unfortunately is the 
font I'd long since chosen as my 'signature' font (that is, it is the 
font that I use most for letterhead, web images, and so forth).

As I recall, Courier also has minor problems, but I could be remembering 
that one wrong.

The problem only occurs with differences, as near as I have been able to 
determine, and I have not been able to find a solution.

Have you tried making it as a union instead of a difference, just to see 
what that would look like?
