Problem with font metric information



Hi all,

Please can anyone help as  I'm new to Linux and Hylafax.

I think I have installed the modem and Hylafax OK (which was a horrible
tasks), plus other scripts such as ghostscript, tiff, etc...

Now tha t I'm trying to send a fax as a test, I have error:

/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//faxsnda04129 <test.txt"

I read the archive mailing list, which stated that if I install the
following 2 files, the problem would be solved, but that was not the
case:

            ghostscript-fonts-other-5.10.tar.gz
            ghostscript-fonts-std-5.10.tar.gz

Is it possible that I've installed into the wrong directory ( i.e.
/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts).

these are the files in the fonts direcoty:

I've also created hyla.conf and set the FontDir:
/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts/ but that did not work either.

Anyone knows what I have to do to solve this problem?

Many thanks,

Toan
