Actually, ISO-8859-1 does not work entirely, just ASCII.

faxmail currently has no ability to use a character encoding other than 
the "standard" one used by Postscript - which is ASCII.  So it's going 
to take someone with some Postscript know-how to extend faxmail to, at 
least, support a single, specified character encoding throughout the 
entire Postscript output.

To the best of my knowledge nobody is working on it.

It's essentially the same problem as was mentioned above.

Thanks,

Lee.
