OK - I suppose it's to apply to 4.1b2? Done that, build and installed
it, but now "sendfax" fails:

lyngbol@box ~$ sendfax -d 12345678 ~/tmp/dummy.php 
/usr/local/sbin/textfmt: No font metric information found for
"Courier-Bold".
Usage: /usr/local/sbin/textfmt [-1] [-2] [-B] [-c] [-D] [-f fontname]
[-F fontdir(s)] [-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//faxsndM22999
</home/lyngbol/tmp/dummy.php"
lyngbol@box ~$ 

Any clues?

Thanks
