Hmm, you could use the IFPOV and ENDPOV statements:
0 IFPOV
0 text { ttf "arial.ttf" // check your fonts directory for the proper names
0 "place your text here" // well, place your text there
0 1, // thickness of text (text will be 3D, dunno what happens if you choose 0
0 0 // spacing of characters
0 scale <24,24,1> // scale text to 1 brick high (approx)
0 rotate <0,0,0> // change <x,y,z> so your text will be readable
0 translate <0,0,0> // move it to a proper place
0 pigment { color rgb <0,0,0> } // choose your favorite color
0 } // end of text
0 ENDPOV
Maybe you should change one of the scale values to a negative number because
of the difference in x-y-z axes in LDraw and POV-Ray.
I haven't tested this, so if you end up with a formatted harddisk, don't
blame me ;-)
Oh, and let me know if it works!
