When I go to the editor preferences and look at the available fonts, I do 
not see all of the fonts that I have installed on my system  (a windows xp 
system, running pov version 3.6).  Instead I only see a small fraction of 
the fonts...is there any way to add to the fonts available to the editor? 
thanks in advance for any help anyone can give on this.

  Let me guess: You are only seeing fixed-width fonts?

  I believe that's completely intentional.

Fixed-width fonts?  That would explain what I am seeing.  Thanks!

A *very* fine point, but--

Just checked and found _most_ (but not all) of my fixed-width fonts 
listed, as well as a couple of symbol fonts (that may in fact be 
fixed-width, which still doesn't make them useful for the POV editor), 
so let's say "fixed-width fonts that correctly identify themselves as 
such."  (BTW, I'm rather fond of Lucida Console myself--fixed-width, but 
doesn't look like it just came off a tractor-feed printer.)

Sorry, Warp--I know you're supposed to be the resident pedant, but I 
just couldn't help myself.  ;)  Would it help if I said you're also the 
King of the Fast, Accurate Answer? :)
