I can reproduce this.  Below is a simpler version without all the
unnecessary declares and a font one can find on othere systems as well.

camera
{
  location  <0, 2, -4>
  look_at   <0, 0, 0>
}

light_group {
 light_source
 {
  <0, 5, -3>
  rgb 1
 }

 text {ttf "times.ttf" "TEXT" 1,0 pigment {rgb 1} translate <-1,1,-2>}
 torus {1.75,0.25 pigment {rgb 1}}
}
