Works fine for me.  Perhaps, you expect something different?

//START
camera{
  up y
  right x*image_width/image_height
  angle 30
  location <0,0,-10>
  look_at  0
}

text {
  ttf "impact.ttf" "Text String" 0, 0
  pigment { rgbf < 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5 > }
  finish { ambient 1 diffuse 0 }
  translate -x*2
}

cylinder{-x*3,x*3,0.1 pigment{rgb <1,0,0>}finish { ambient 1 diffuse 0 }
translate <0,0.3,1>}
//END

-tgq
