I came across a problem with the text object....


character.

The problem was that I did dot find a way to put the whole word in the same
text object

,chr(128), "GERTIDNING".

Is there a way to put all the characters in one string so that I only have
to use the Text command once to draw the word?

  Yes, using the concat() function.

Not exactly what I mean........
line from a povfile:


scale .1 }  rotate <0,0,0>}


Is it possible to do somthing like this in Povray.....

 text { ttf "c:\windows\fonts\Times.ttf"                "N" + chr(128) +
"PP"          .1, 0 pigment {rgb <0,0,0> scale .1 }  rotate <0,0,0>}

I think you get the idea

Maybe that character can only be accessed with the Unicode patch by Jon 
Cruz. It is included in the Superpatch, although it apparently has some 
problems with the Mac.

Yes, as Warp said:

text { 
  ttf "c:\windows\fonts\Times.ttf"
  concat("N" + chr(128)+"PP")
  .1, 0 
  pigment {rgb <0,0,0> scale .1 }  
  rotate <0,0,0>
}

Yes, the Unipatch should do the job. It's in the superpatch.
See here for some simple docs
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Network/4453/unipatch/

http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Network/4453/unipatch/unipatch.jpg


But it is very strange that chr(128) should work for that. But... that's
because it happens to be the location of the capital letter 'A' with diaeresis
in the Apple roman font encoding, and the official POV-Ray goes for the first
Apple encoding table in all fonts... (try a different font and you might get
it popping up in a different location)

Oh, and the Unipatch doesn't really have a problem with the Mac. Just with
poorly done Mac fonts :-) . But in the version that I'm almost done with, that
is fixed. Along with some bugfixes that will cause even the standard POV-Ray
to choke on most newer Mac fonts.
