Have you tried vtkTextActor3D?

http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkTextActor3D.html

It provides similar functionality as vtkVectorText (it is rendered as
a 3D prop in the scene, rather than an overlay like vtkTextActor), and
allows font formatting through vtkTextProperty. The drawback of using
vtkTextActor3D in place of vtkVectorText is that vtkVectorText
generates polydata, while vtkTextActor3D renders to a textured quad,
but this is only an issue if you really need polydata for the
pipeline.
