Re: flexfax: textFmt problem

[Robert Colquhoun <rjc@trump.net.au>]

Hi Martin,

The first thing i would look at is your Font-Metric files, if you've got a
more modern version of ghostscript it has renamed many of these for dos
compatibility(see the fontmap file).  Whereas textfmt uses the old style
long names, ie you need both.

The afm files are available ftp.sgi.com site

PS if any of the above is wrong someone say.

PPS I've put together a preliminary port for hylafax to HP 10.20 in HP's
depot format, just use swinstall and then follow /opt/hylafax/INSTALL
	see http://www.trump.net.au/~rjc/hylafax/
