I just downloaded PovRAY for windows...and I can't even start working
with it. Every character in the entire program (apart from button labels
etc) is displayed in some sort of special-character font. Here's a
sample....
"The quick brown"

Anyway, if I copy and paste this strange text from the POVray window
into any other app, it turns back into "normal" text.
I thought I'd get stuck half-way through using it, not before I'd even
started...

Right clicking on the desk top should bring up a properties window. You
should be able to set the default language and font styles within that area.
