I have version 3.6 runnng under Debian 64 bit. I want to be able to create text
from German. I have been informed the utf8 code for this symbol is 50079 in
decimal. I understand about the global_settings { charset utf8 } command. I use
the line of code
text { ttf "cyrvetic.ttf", concat("text before", chr(50079), "text after") ...
Apparently, the supplied fonts crystal.ttf, cyrvetic.ttf, and timrom.ttf are all
ASCII. Where can I find a utf8 True Type font to add to the
/usr/share/povray/include directory? Are there any tweaks necessary to make it
work?
Any clue would be appreciated. Thanks for your patience.

use fontforge to check that glyph U+00DF is available in your candidat font.
U+00DF is UTF-8 0xC39F (aka 50079 in base 10)
One of the largest font (in range) is arialuni.ttf, made by Microsoft.
