I haven't tried the RPM, but if your Linux system is like mine
HylaFax's 'textfmt' doesn't llke the way the new Ghostscript
maintains its font-metric files. The new one uses a filename
called "Fontmap" to map fontnames to filenames, in the old version
the font name *was* the file name.

I've uploaded a perl script to Sam that creates the symbolic links
necessary to make textfmt happy.
