I can reproduce this. Below is a simpler version without all the
unnecessary declares and a font one can find on othere systems as well.
camera
{
location <0, 2, -4>
look_at <0, 0, 0>
}
light_group {
light_source
{
<0, 5, -3>
rgb 1
}
text {ttf "times.ttf" "TEXT" 1,0 pigment {rgb 1} translate <-1,1,-2>}
torus {1.75,0.25 pigment {rgb 1}}
}

Okay, are you saying I should not be seeing a shadow of the text falling
onto the torus, or that it does? I do see the shadow.
In case this is going to matter, my system is Intel P3 with WinXP.

I've posted the image showing the problem to beta-test.binaries.

I got it. If you turn light buffers off it works fine. So it must be a bug.

Yes, must be. Especially since I can use either -ul or +ul. Light buffer
on or off is the same for me here.

Not for me: with +ul the bug manifests itself, with -ul it doesn't. It's
really strange...
Maybe light buffers work unexpectedly in XP? I mean, there's a bug, but with
XP it doesn't show. Any other XP users here?

The core code does not depend on the operating system (besides, one thing is
for sure: I am not using WinDOS XP). Don't jump to such conclusions. There
are a million reasons why it cannot work, none of which has to do with the
operating system. Only the source code can tell...

Wasn't it Marc-Hendrik Bremer who wrote:
>I don't get shadows either. Can't be the Athlon.
I'm going to log this as a confirmed bug, even though I'm not entirely
sure of the conditions under which the shadows are present.
On my system there are no shadows in either of the examples posted.
Here's my, rather confusing, contribution to the fray - no text object,
just spheres and boxes for simplicity.
camera { location <0, 2, -3>
look_at 0
}
light_group {
light_source { <-1, 3, 1> rgb 1}
sphere {y,0.5 pigment {rgb 1}}
box {<-1,0,-1><1,0.5,1> pigment {rgb 1}}
}
// sphere {<4,-5,10>,0.5 pigment {rgb 1}}
background {rgb z}
On my machine, as written, the sphere casts a shadow on the box.
However, when I uncomment the second sphere the shadow disappears. The
existence of any extra object seems to switch off the shadow. Even if
the second sphere is moved inside the light group it kills the shadow.

I can confirm this behavior with your script. It is cured by using -ul in
this case, too.

Of course, my fault. Sorry.
