Re: [hylafax-users] Hylafax Font Metric Errors

[Hugh Esco <hesco@xxxxxxxxxx>]

/etc/hylafax/hyla.conf includes the following two lines:  

# FontMap/FontPath added by faxsetup (Mon Apr 19 02:14:10 EDT 2004)
FontMap:  
/usr/local/lib/ghostscript/common:/usr/local/lib/ghostscript/7.07:
	/usr/local/lib/ghostscript/fonts:/usr/local/share/ghostscript/common:
	/usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.07:/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts:
	/var/lib/defoma/gs. d/dirs/fonts:/usr/share/ghostscript/common:
	/usr/share/gs/7.07

FontPath: 
/usr/local/lib/ghostscript/common:/usr/local/lib/ghostscript/7.07:
	/usr/local/lib/ghostscript/fonts:/usr/local/share/ghostscript/common:
	/usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.07:/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts:
	/var/lib/defoma/gs. d/dirs/fonts:/usr/share/ghostscript/common:
	/usr/share/gs/7.07

There is no mention of 
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 

although I have both:  
/etc/X11/fonts/Type1  and 
/var/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1

Should I add these directories to the paths layed out in
/etc/hylafax/hyla.conf?
