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)?
