Ok. How come I get an error "missing }" when I render this? All I want
is to put a texture on the text. I want it to be like reflective chrome.
Yes I included "metals.inc". I have pov 3.02.
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 { P_chrome1
finish {F_MetalC}
}
}

Two reasons:
1) You've misspelled P_Chrome1. The C should be uppercase.
2) P_Chrome1 needs to be inside a pigment{} block.
Here's the corrected texture statement:
texture {
pigment {P_Chrome1}
finish {F_MetalC}
}
This probably isn't the best group to get answers to this sort of
questions in. You might want to hang out in povray.newusers for a
while, where questions like this are common and are more likely to
be answered quickly.

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 }
}
}

Thank you all. It worked. I'm just getting started with POV, if you
couldn't tell.

Hi, Chuck. Keep at it - don't become discouraged. There's a bit of a
learning curve but soon the basics of scene writing will become second
nature.
As far as posting in the groups here, Ron's advice for you to hang out for
a bit in povray.newusers is sound. Your question about text objects and
textures is a general one that applies to all versions of POV-Ray on all
platforms. Platform-specific questions or comments about POV-Ray for Windows
goes in this group.

Don't worry about making small mistakes like that. For comparison, my first
C program was 54 lines of program, and had 129 errors!
