[hylafax-users] sendfax not working on client machine



Hello, I need a little help with sendfax.........again.  I have my 'hyla.conf' file setup and all the font directories are valid.  I can telnet and ftp to my Hylafax server on port 4559.  I can see the server when I use the command 'faxstat -s' from my client machine.  The following is my current configuration:
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------hyla.conf-----------------------------------------------------
FontMap:/usr/share/ghostscript/5.50/Fontmap
FontPath:/usr/share/fax/afm/:/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript:/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1:/usr/share/fonts/afms:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/courier

When I try a command like:
'sendfax -d "<name> @<phone number>" <text file>' I get the following error:
--------------------------------------------------->>>
 
/usr/sbin/textfmt: No font metric information found for "Courier-Bold".
Usage: /usr/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/sbin/textfmt -B -f Courier-Bold -Ml=0.4
in -p 11 -s default >/tmp//sndfaxKOU8AP </home/markw/test_mw.txt"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have checked the font path and everything is there.  I can run the textfmt command with no options '/usr/sbin/textfmt <text file>' and it will create a ps file, but when I try '/usr/sbin/textfmt -B -f Courier-Bold -Ml=0.4in -p 11 -s default <text file>' I get the same error message stated above.  I just can not seem to isolate the problem ?
Any and all suggestions are welcome..........
 
Sincerely,
 
Mark Welborn
