Maybe I'm missing something, but why does the
windows 95 POV-Ray editor only give me a choice of
13 fonts (most of which ar not usable, such as a
line drawing font) when I have more than 500
TrueType fonts installed on my machine?

Because it only lets you use the monospaced fonts.

I didn't see another response to your question anywhere and I don't have the 
answer either, yet I did take a look around myself to see where/how the editor 
uses it's fonts.
Near as I can tell it is probably coded into the pvengine.exe somewhere or 
calls out to a dll for them (didn't appear to be either of the 2 codemax dlls 
though since I saw no reference to BorTE, etc. Only MS Sans Serif, Courier New 
and Lucida.).
I have only ten (not 13) fonts available, three of them ttf, both in the 3.02 
and 3.1 versions; also 5 languages. This leads me to believe none of this has 
anything to do with CodeMax specifically; wonder if any Windows settings 
affect this...
Chris Cason must be the answer-man here simply because he put together the 
Windows versions.
Notice strikeout and underscore no longer exist? I never used them anyhow 
though.

Per Ronald L. Parker the reason is that Pov's editor only
lets you use the monospaced fonts.

I haven't a clue about the Windows version, but the Mac version allows any font.
