[hylafax-users] faxmail -f argument not working

[Christopher Maness <chris@chrismaness.com>]

I saw the following post in the archive.  Was anybody else successful
in getting this thing to work.

I'm having the same problem.

###############################################################################
 

I am trying to use faxmail.  Everything works fine, email is being
rendered into faxes and sent out.

The problem is that the default Courier font is very skinny and parts of
it are missing.  No problem - I'll just use Courier-Bold.

Well, no matter what I do, faxmail uses the default COurier.

I've tried hyla.conf:

[root@pythia fax]# cat hyla.conf
TextFont: Helvetica-Bold

[root@pythia fax]#

No joy.  I know it's being read, because if I make an error in the file,
an error is logged, but the font name is ignored.

I tried the -f font-name to faxmail:

define(`FAX_MAILER_ARGS',`faxmail -d $u@$h $f -n -u $f -f Helvetica')
MAILER(`fax')

no joy; it's ignored too.  That leads me to believe that it must be a
compiled in option, or I'm doing something wrong.  Perhaps I am not
using the correct "postscript font name" - but I could not find any way
to list the postscript font names on my system, so I'm guessing at the
name.

I am using hylafax-cvs.
