Check the font substitution rules in your postscript driver; make sure that
fonts are downloaded as type 1, not type 3, and that they are downloaded,
not substituted.  This is probably all you need to do.

see the comp.fonts faq

As above; describe the widths of the characters; I'm not sure that these
metrics are needed by Hylafax.

Read the documentation for your raster image processor.  If you are using
ghostscript 5.10, with my directory configuration, you should read:

/usr/lib/ghostscript/5.10/doc/fonts.txt

However, as you should be downloading the fonts, this is probably irrelevant.
