MapText is limited to displaying text on turfs. if you want to display text on objs or other atoms, you'll have to get sd_Text (which is better in every respect anyway. ;) )
I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. MapText doesn't require any additional icons unless you want a different font. To display text, you just use the MapText() proc or OverlayText() proc.
