POV-Ray
A solution for text object... for Windows 98 users
If we want to use text object with other fonts than those
included with software, we have just to copy fonts from
Windows ...SYSTEMFONTS*.TTF to your POV-Ray directory
.... POV-Ray for Windows v3.6include*.TTF
It give us a lot of beautiful characters for our 3D letters.
Thanks a lot.

Rather than copying the font files, you can just tell POV-Ray where to
find them. Add this line to your master povray.ini file ("Edit master
POVRAY.INI" in the "Tools" menu).
Library_Path="C:\WINDOWS\Fonts"
When POV-Ray can't find a file in the current directory, it searches for
it in the Library_Paths.

Save disk space. NO risk of accidently uninstalling font. Default action when draging
from that
folder is to "Uninstall Font", regardless of the destination.

Good idea. You can also create your own ini file and use
'EditSettings/Render' in the 'Render' menu.
I got a lot of font files, to many to remember them all.
So I made a text file with all font names. Then made a POV file to show
all the fonts and saved the image. Now if I need text in a scene I can
see what I have or just read though the text file.
