It appears that par crt does not work with text. Does anyone have any other suggestions.

Just print the letters separately. Something like this untested use of `mapply`:

mapply(text, labels=strsplit(txvec, ""),
        x=1,  # or some other appropriate number, should get recycled.
        y=seq(start, end, length=nchar(txvec) )
