Jumping in.

I am confused about your goal, however you can try using a vector for the
final parameter of the text object if your font is fixed width (maybe).

Such as:

text {
        ttf "arial.ttf", "abcdabcd", 0.1, < -1/2, -1, 0 >
                pigment { color rgb 1 }
}

Reason I'm confused... I saw previous messages and wondered if you wanted
something like uv mapping. For instance, taking a image map of text and
applying in a way that conforms to every curvature of a object.
