Can I use the 60 or 90 degree v-bits for text if so how do I change to it when laying out my pattern ?

As previously stated, "You need Centerline".
I'll add to that, the need/desire for Conforming Vectors as well.
My "Download" link, below, has a lesson titled Conforming Vectors. It shows the application of Centerline text using the V-bit, and a Vector line using a ball nose bit, and how Conforming Vectors will come in handy.
Both Centerline and Conforming Vectors are software add-ons and there is no shipping fee. For the cost, both will give you a large pay-back.
Enjoy the lesson.

If all you are doing is text and want it V-Carved all you need is vectors ans can assign a bit to each separate line. If you want to ise built in fonts then you will need Centerline and if you want to conform to the to the surface of a carved project then you will need conforming vectors.
Example of the first would to be design a vector 'text' file and save it into Adobe Illustrator as a '.ai' file. Then you can use AI2MPC to convert that to a .MPC file. Load the .MPC file into Designer From there select each vector (line) and assign a bit and cut depth.
Designer has the ability to do that within itself but as stated it takes add-in's based on the need.
Hope this helps.

You can use those bits with "outline" also.
