This is a good time to perfect your CSG skills. Pov hav a text object
that can be used in CSG operations.

This snippet of code shows an example of how it's done.

  light_source{<0,0,-200>rgb 1}
  camera{location<0,0,-15>look_at<0,0,0>}

  intersection{
  box{-1,1 scale<5,1.5,1>pigment {rgb 1 }}
  text {ttf "timrom.ttf" "POV-RAY" 1, 0 inverse
  translate<-2.5,0,-1.01>pigment{rgb 0 }}}


  Be sure to read up on the text object because it's
  placement is a little tricky.
