Circle_Text_Valigned macro
(New in POV-Ray 3.7! With POV-Ray 3.6 it needs to include: #include "Circle_Text_Valigned.inc" !!!)
An extention of Ron Parkers "Circle_Text" macro extended with "valign" by Mike Thorn

Sample "Circle_Text_Valigned( ... )":
Circle_Text_Valigned( Font, Text, Size, Spacing,
Thickness, Radius, Inverted, Justification,
Circle angle, Valign )

object{
Circle_Text_Valigned(
 "arial.ttf", // Font
 "POV-Ray",// Text
  0.35,    // Size
  0.0005,  // Spacing
  0.20,    // Thickness
  1.00,    // Radius
  1,       // Inverted
  Align_Left,// Align_Right, Align_Center
  50,      // Circle angle
 -90 )     // Valign:
  // Rotates -90 = right side up,
  // 90 = upside-down, 0 = horzontal.
 texture{
   pigment{ color rgb<1,0.75,0.0>}
   normal { bumps 0.5 scale 0.005}
   finish { specular 1 reflection 0.15}
   } // end of texture
rotate<90,140,0>
translate<0,0.2,0>
}// end of Circle_Text_Valigned object
