You need the new ghostscript RPMS, not just the fonts tarball. But even this 
is out of date at the moment. The recommended procedure is to head to

	http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/

and grab:
	ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/aladdin/gs550/linux/ghostscript-5.50-2.i386.rpm

and

ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/aladdin/gs550/linux/ghostscript-fonts-5.50-1.noarch
.rpm

Then do:

	rpm -Uvh ghost*.rpm

Then fetch:

ftp://ftp.hylafax.org/hylafax/binary/linux/rpms/i386/hylafax-4.0pl2-3rh5.i386.r
pm

and install with:

rpm -ivh --nodeps hylafax-4.0pl2-3rh5.i386.rpm

Don't do this.

Redhat ships with an older version of ghostscript than I am comfortable with, 
hence the requirement of at least 5.10. If you would like to grab the SRPM and 
fiddle this yourself you might get away with it.
