perhaps you have no Fallout2 installed??? If you have then try to upgrade it to a newer version maybe that will help.

My Editor was not starting. On my computer is the Message: Could not find/load text fonts. HELP!!!! I have installed fallout 1 & 2 on my computer and all unpackers are running.

look in the mapper2.cfg file to see if it is pointing to the fallout 2 directory and more specifically to the master.dat and the critter.dat.
these do not need to be unpacked, but they can be..

then check that the master.dat and critter.dat is in the fallout 2 directory and that they are named correctly.

if you chose the small install then the master.dat is read from the cd.. if you do not have the cd in then the editor will not be able to read the dat.. ( duh!! )

before using the editor do a FULL install of fallout 2. THEN re-install the editor.. use the default paths for each ( ie don't specify a different folder or drive.. )

Problem solved

No, its not necessary more. Anyone can use the Fo2 mapper with the Small Install. I discovered what is my problem... lack of memory. The mapper needs at last 300 mb of free memory to run.

i know that you can use the mapper with the small install.. but the cd needs to be in since the mastr.dat and critter.dat stay on the cd.. that's what i was saying.

if you chose the small install. and don't have the disk in, the mapper cannot find the artwork even for itself.. hence the black screen.
