I would like to see more font options.

It seems to me that fonts are done with splines, - possibly bezier curves? I 
assume Pov-Ray has some way of retieving nodes from a font file to be able 
to render the fonts. So this is what I would like to see:

node_count // identifier for total amount of nodes in the text object
node_pos(n) // co-ordinate of node n
node_norm(n) // inside normal of node n

This would make it possible to make nicely bevelled text by using bezier 
patches to make text.

Am I way off track or would something like this be possible?
