I guess there is no hope for this question but I will try also. I get the same error when I try to run the wesnoth editor but wesnoth runs fine. Here is the error:

:~$ /usr/games/wesnoth editor
Battle for Wesnoth v1.1.12
Started on Tue Dec 12 00:30:03 2006

started game: 1965266446
Setting path using editor
could not initialize fonts
exiting with code 0
:~$

Ooops, just ignore me, I couldn't syntax my way out of a wet paper bag. I guess it helps if I type in the command correctly:
wesnoth_editor

It must be time for bed, yah that's it, I blame it all on staying up too late. Oh well, take a look at this and laugh, then call me a dumb whateveryou want, shake your head and I'll go crawl away.
