Code:
obj/Test {
maptext = "<b><font color = red><font size = 2>Hello!</font></b>";
}


Problem description: Well the code isn't showing any text...
I've added the obj though the Map editor, doesn't know if it affects something...
I assume you are using the latest beta?
Hum... Yes?
Do you have the various maptext-related variables set? maptext_width and maptext_height, specifically.
Well i can't take a look at them since they're not on documentation. Still setting us those variables doesn't work.
Try setting the variables inside of New(). I'm not sure how well default values are working and don't have a way to test right now.

This is working fine for me (on map and on screen):

obj/Test
maptext = "<font size=3>Test<b>Test</b></font>"
screen_loc ="4,4"
maptext_width = 128
maptext_height = 32

turf
icon = 'grass.dmi'

mob
Login()
client.screen += new/obj/Test
..()
