[hylafax-users] No font metric with textfmt - Quick fix

["Brendin Emslie" <brendin@dreamland.ab.ca>]

Hello,

I fixed this problem quickly by doing the following.

1. Download the HylaFAX source for the version you are using
2. run the configure script
3. run make
4. go to the ./utils directory in the source tree and locate the textfmt
file
5. do a "whereis textfmt" and make a backup copy of the existing textfmt
file
6. copy the ./utils/textfmt file to the directory found above for the
existing textfmt file

It should work now, at least it worked for me :).  It appears the textfmt
program hardcodes the afm search path in the textfmt executable.

AFAIK this should not cause any problems with an existing HylaFAX
installation.

I am planning to do a make install of the source tree compilation at a later
date.  This would be the preffered method of fixing this problem.  Just
thought I would share this with the list.
