Hi Sebastian,

thanks for your thorough explanation, though I have to hint at the fact that
I knew most of  that before (I did mention osaka.ttf and rendering
japanese/chinese characters ?!) :-)

The main problem is hidden in your phrase

to which I reply "which SWITCH ??"     ;-)

I'm using a Mac, system 9.0, and neither POV-Ray's nor MegaPOV's inbuilt
editor supports utf8 directly, nor any other I have here. I have got my
very personal reasons for NOT updating to OS X, which I would prefer not to
discuss here. I've had enough of that when Thorsten (rightfully!!) asked me
to switch to a system less than fifteen years old when I reported some
minor problems with POV-Ray ... :-)

Anyway, if I needed to have umlauts in my picture, I could always enter the
code directly into the string, I have used that before but didn't care to
do so with this overview.

Thank you for your patience and your explanations

Karl
