OK for anyone wondering, this is how I managed to do it:
function draw(){
d3.json("readme.json", function(json) {
g.selectAll("path")
.data(json.features)
.enter()
.append("path")
.attr("d", path)
.on("click", click);
g.selectAll("text")
.data(json.features)
.enter()
.append("svg:text")
.text(function(d){
return d.properties.name;
})
.attr("x", function(d){
return path.centroid(d)[0];
})
.attr("y", function(d){
return path.centroid(d)[1];
})
.attr("text-anchor","middle")
.attr('font-size','6pt');
});
}
