Ant .ttf font you like that supports a Greek character set. Just make sure
that you point POV at its location explicitly when you include the .ttf file
(i.e. #include "/location/of/my/file/whatever.ttf" or if you're using
Windoze #include "C:\location\of\my\file\whatever.ttf"). You'll have work
out the character code yourself tho'

You never need to #include any font, in fact, it should generate an error and
abort the parsing as a TTF file is not a valid SDL file. If using the windows
version, you can use any installed font, as the windows font folder is deffined
as one of the standard input folders. It also works if the font file is in the
same folder as your source file or in the include folder.

What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
You're right. I didn't have to include any font file. However, I had to put
the font file in my working directory and then somehow workout the code to
use.
it works now
