Re: flexfax: HylaFAX on SCO 5.0.x, textfmt failing?

[rwk@americom.com]

My file "/usr/share/fax/hyla.conf" contains:

   FontPath:               /usr/share/fax/afm

/usr/share/fax/afm contains:

AvantGarde-Book.afm               Helvetica-Oblique.afm
AvantGarde-BookOblique.afm        Helvetica.afm
AvantGarde-Demi.afm               NewCenturySchlbk-Bold.afm

Helvetica-Narrow-Oblique.afm      ZapfChancery-MediumItalic.afm
Helvetica-Narrow.afm              ZapfDingbats.afm

But: sendfax -n -D -d+1-999-999-9999 <<!^JHello^J!

Still complains:

/usr/local/sbin/textfmt: No font metric information found for "Courier-Bold".
Usage: /usr/local/sbin/textfmt [-1] [-2] [-B] [-c] [-D] [-f fontname] [-m N] [-o #] [-p #] [-r] [-U] [-Ml=#,r=#,t=#,b=#] [-V #] files... >out.ps
Default options: -f Courier -1 -p 11bp -o 0
Error converting data; command was "/usr/local/sbin/textfmt -B -f Courier-Bold -p 11 -s default >/tmp//faxsnda09919 </tmp//sndfaxa09919"

I would be grateful for any additional suggestions...

Thanks,
Dick
