It's not included.  Note that the bug is not marked as resolved.  The 
bug has had very little discussion on it, and thus nobody has said, 
"this works for me" and that, "this should get committed".  There are 
lots of non-english people using HylaFAX without this patch, and so 
(for myself) I wonder why they are not having problems if there is 
really something to be done.

According to the bug report, the patch on Bug 203 affects textfmt, 
HylaFAX's ASCII-to-PostScript converter.  Because faxcover produces 
PostScript output natively, and because you are saying that faxcover 
output is fine, I suspect that your problem has not to do with textfmt, 
but rather with ps2fax (Ghostscript).  So the patch probably wouldn't 
do you any good, but I really don't know.
