following causes a parse error: illegal escape sequence in string
with the default "fonts.txt" file...
// =========================================
// Initialises the font list
// -----------------------------------------
#declare nFonts=0;
#fopen fFonts "fonts.txt" read
#while (defined(fFonts))
#read(fFonts,dummy) // <-- this line while parsing gives
// #read(tFonts,dummy"C:\windows\fonts\times.ttf"
// parse error: illegal escape sequence in string
#declare nFonts=nFonts+1;
#end
#fclose fFonts
#declare bookFonts=array[nFonts]
#declare i=0;
#fopen fFonts "fonts.txt" read
#while (defined(fFonts))
#read(fFonts,dummy)
#declare bookFonts[i]=dummy
#declare i=i+1;
#end
#fclose fFonts

That include file probably neither designed nor updated for POV-Ray 3.5 so
you should expect to have to apply certain changes like to all other
script files made for earlier versions of POV-Ray.
In this case it's probably sufficient to change the backslashes in
fonts.txt into double backslashes or forward shashes (or even better: not
to use explicit path names at all).

Please note: An error reported by POV-Ray is *not* a crash!!!
It is extremely important to use the correct terminology in this case as
using the wrong terminology will cause confusion sooner or later!

Well, sorry about that. As Christoph said some of the POV-Ray 3.1 code has
some (minor) problems with 3.5. I did update all the Megapov objects, scenes
and macros to 3.5 but I somehow didn't think that 3.1 scenes would have
problems too. I'll look into that and correct it. The fact is that the
MakeLibrary suite would benefit a lot from 3.5 features so that I wanted to
improve it a little instead of just fixing it.
>I now have the following problem:
>how do I move the output of the macro around?
object{ TheMacro(blah,blah,blah,blah) translate blah blah blah}
(see the library_new.pov and library_old.pov if you missed them)

Ooh, thankee!
By the way, some of the book patterns aren't exactly what I'd call
compatible with text on the spine...and the book generator only puts
one title per book type??(??) so you get a lot of duplicate books
with the same pattern and title instead of same pattern, different
title...might be something I overlooked, but there it is.
Plus I don't think POV likes unicode-format text files O.o
*sigh* Unicode is such a cool idea! Why doesn't more software support
it?!

Did you bother to check the documentation?
http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/365/
"Any ASCII or Unicode character, depending on the charset setting in
global_settings."
http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/219/
"The option utf8 is a special Unicode text encoding and it allows you to
specify characters of nearly all languages in use today."

File: MakeBook.inc Line: 33
#while (defined(fTitles)) // read once to get the number of titles
Parse Error: Illegal character in input file, value is ef.
Returned from renderer with error status
The input file in question is as follows (the file is encoded with utf8:
"\u3061\u3087\u3073\u3064\u30C4",
"\u30D5\u30EB\u30E0\u30FC\u30F3\u6E80\U6708\u3092\u2055\u304C\u3057\u3066"
EOF
But wait, it gets even better! When I save the file with ansi encoding,
it does, in fact, render...
...but...
the fonts I wish to use are "C:\\windows\\fonts\\msgothic.ttc" and
"C:\\windows\\fonts\\msmincho.ttc"
which should interpret the above listed utf8 codes as (in this order)
double quote, hiragana chi, hiragana small yo, hiragana bi, hirigana
tsu, katakana tsu, double quote, comma, katakana fu, katkana ru,
katakana mu, hiragana/katakana prolonged sond mark, katakana n, unified
CJK ideograph 'full', unified CJK ideograph 'moon', hiragana wo,
hiragana sa, hiragana ga, hiragana shi, hiragana te, double quote
EOF
guess what it doesn't do. try it yourself. then tell me again how
POV supports unicode.
