This is an addition to Q44 - No font metric information found - that is
waiting for the next update of the FAQ; please read it in conjunction with
the existing text.

   It is worth emphasizing that textfmt doesn't use the ghostscript
   Fontmap. It looks for a file, for instance, called 'Courier-Bold.afm'
   and, if it cannot find that, a file called 'Courier-Bold' in the AFM
   directory. If you want to use the ghostscript fonts, which use a 
   dos-compatible 8.3 filename format, you will have to provide your 
   own links.

   Alternatively, there is a set of afm fonts included in the source 
   package; or if you have a binary distribution, there is a seperate
   file called afm-tar.gz at ftp.sgi.com/sgi/fax/binary.

Hope this helps.
