Okay, so I am having this same problem and I didn't every see a 
solution posted.  It there one?

In my case I am installing on Red Hat 6.1 using the CVS HylaFAX 
sources.     (I have also tried starting from the rpm and from the tar 
ball all with the same result.)  I have already installed a newer 
ghostscript, version 6.50, just like mrbill.  In all cases it appears 
as though the *.conf files are not getting read, but I found that they 
were by using the -v switch.  What is interesting though is that the 
fontmap parameter is not recognized.  Here is the output from sendfax:


%sendfax -v -n -d 2540 /home/mac/junk.txt

Error converting data; command was "/usr/local/sbin/textfmt -B -f

I don't have a clue as to why I would need to specify the fontmap 
parameter even if I could since the setup.cache seems to know all about 
fontmap and fontpath.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill
