Hello, I believe I've stumbled upon an inconsistency between the wiki
documentation and the 3.7 RC6 implementation of the text object.
Thanks,
Bill P.
//
// The wiki at http://wiki.povray.org/content/Reference:Text says :
//
//In version 3.7 several fonts were built-in, consequently,
//the following alternate syntax is available:
//
//TEXT_OBECT:
// text {
// internal Font_Number "String_of_Text"
// ...
// However, the internal option does not appear to work and I do not see
// support for it in parse.cpp. Unsure if missing function or the
// internal option was pulled and documentation needs to be updated?
// File 'the.pov' line 39: Parse Error: Expected 'ttf', internal
// found instead

It's normal, it's for the post 3.7RC6 version.
Relax and enjoy the blinking lights.

Sorry about that ... but from time to time the wiki is just a bit ahead
of the curve. As pointed out RC7 implements that variant.

It should be noted that this is only a preliminary solution to have the
benchmark run without installing POV-Ray. Future versions may lack this
mechanism.
Scene files (other than the benchmark) should continue to reference the
external font files, which will continue to be available.
