Hi,
I'm having some trouble getting hylafax/ghostscript working & hope
someone might be able to help.
I'm running FBSD 4.1-Release. 
I think the problem may be due to the way ghostscript was installed. I
had installed the apsfilter package from the 4.1 cdroms, which also
installed ghostscript 6.01. I'm now trying to set Hylafax up. When I
installed the Hylafax package (from the 4.1 cdroms), it installed
ghostscript 5.5, which buggered up my printing.
 So I thenI used pkg_delete with the -f option to remove ghostscript
5.5 , removed apsfilter & ghostscript 6.01, then reinstalled the
apsfilter package & checked that it worked.
Then I used faxsetup to set up Hylafax.

Now to the actual problem - when I try to send a fax (just a plain ascii
file) using
% sendfax -f "imoore@localhost" -n -d83626937 ~/testfax, 
I get the following error:
/usr/local/sbin/textfmt: No font metric information found for
"Courier-Bold".
Usage: /usr/local/sbin/textfmt [-1] [-2] [-B] [-c] [-D] [-f fontname]
[-F fontdir(s)] [-m N] [-o #] [-p #] [-r] [-U] [-Ml=#,r=#,t=#,b=#] [-V
#] files... >out.ps
Default options: -f Courier -1 -p 11bp -o 0
Error converting data; command was "/usr/local/sbin/textfmt -B -f
Courier-Bold -p 11 -s default >/tmp//faxsndxv2936 </home/imoore/testfax"

Does anyone know how I might be able to get ghoscript configured
correctly &/or replace the missing font metric file(s)?
Cheers,
Ian Moore
