[hylafax-users] Login failed: 530 Login incorrect, font metric errors.

[Hugh Esco <hesco@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey folks:  

I was on the verge of having a useful hylafax installation until my hard
drive recently crapped out on me.  Last week I rebuilt the system on
a temporary drive, while I wait for my real drive to be replaced.  

I'm running into two sets of issues I'd appreciate some help with.  All
responses are appreciated.  

Now, I'm getting errors reading:

	Login failed: 530 Login incorrect  

everytime I try to run sendfax (from a script which reads in relevant
part: 
	sendfax -f "hesco@xxxxxxxxxx" -R -x "Georgia Green Party" -d
"HughEsco@14048060584" GovBarnes-on-PR.pdf  ).  

Also, running faxsetup yields several errors related to missing "font
metric information".  I'm running Debian Woody testing.  What packages
do I need to install so that my text files get appropriately converted
for faxing?  

Your help is appreciated,
