You did not capitalize the word Chrome in P_Chrome1 and you attempted to use a
color keyword as a texture definition as opposed to being used as a color in a
pigment statement. The code below works now.

text{
  ttf             // font type (only TrueType format for now)
  "crystal.ttf",  // Microsoft Windows-format TrueType font file name
  "ACATEC",       // the string to create
  .5,             // the extrusion depth
  0               // offset
  texture {
    pigment  {   P_Chrome1 }
       finish { F_MetalC }
  }
}
