Hi all,

this is a little file I use to look at what characters a font
contains.

Thought I'd share since it comes in handy to look at a font and figure
out if there's a problem with the character mapping.

You need to adapt the sLabelFont variable for your system.

For a quick preview, you can render at 640x480, but you need to render
this at least at 1024x768 for a good look at the characters.

Enjoy,

- Lutz

Hi Lutz,
Just for  info, your program works fine with POVray 3.1, but Megapov 6 & 7 both have
problems.
Some fonts, e.g. Centurion Old, in Megapov results in "Error reading TrueType font
file at
line 1648 ......TRUETYPE.C"
Other fonts just display chars up to index 127 and nothing thereafter.  Seems like a
bug in
Megapov.
