Sculptural 3d text by fonts

We can use all installed fonts for this kind of 3d objects to create shapes.
On Windows systems we can find them in the directory "C:\windows\fonts". It is recommanded to insert this path as "Library_Path" in the file named "povray.ini". We can add this in Windows by "Tools", "Edit master POVRAY.INI" inserting at the end of this file the according line, so it will look like this:

...
Library_Path=C:\Programme\POV-Ray for Windows v3.5\INCLUDE
Library_Path=C:\windows\fonts
