Ghostscript 8.71 segfaults (crashes) on running genfontmap.ps.  This 
leaves HylaFAX without a Fontmap file to use on that version.

Edit your faxsetup script and change this:

           $PATH_GSRIP -q -sDEVICE=tiffg3 -sFONTPATH="$FONTPATHS" 
$DIR_SPOOL/bin/genfontmap.ps > $DIR_SPOOL/etc/Fontmap.HylaFAX 2>/dev/null
           if [ $? = 0 ]; then
               FONTMAP="$DIR_SPOOL/etc"

to this:

           $PATH_GSRIP -q -sDEVICE=tiffg3 -sFONTPATH="$FONTPATHS" 
$DIR_SPOOL/bin/genfontmap.ps > $DIR_SPOOL/etc/Fontmap.HylaFAX 2>/dev/null
           if [ -n "`$GREP Courier-Bold 
$DIR_SPOOL/etc/Fontmap.HylaFAX`" ]; then
               FONTMAP="$DIR_SPOOL/etc"

This change will be in the next HylaFAX+ release.

Thanks,

Lee.
