It may have to do with the fact that POV-Ray code is designed to only
read ASCII code, and the original ASCII definition is only specific for
the lower 128 character codes. There are font type that even though
they are acceptable to most apps pov has very specific requirements
in this regard.
If you really have to have those fonts used in your scene there is
an alternative. A program called Elefont will accept all ttf's
and output to pov script in mesh format. Check it out at:

uh, Ken? 0x73 is a lowercase t. Nothing special there.
POV reads the font tables and such directly rather than depending on
operating system support, so it may be that the fonts this happens
with are either nonstandard or "differently standard" as regards the
tables and the representation thereof. Are these fonts perhaps a
newer format than the original Truetype specification, or perhaps
Unicode?
