You get this because you are using an old version (4.1.1); new versions
would have setup themselves automatically.

When you compile HylaFAX the font paths you see with "gs -h" are hardcoded
into the executables. If you run HylaFAX on the same system where you
compiled it all is ok; otherwise you need to tell it where to find the
fonts.
Ask debian where they put the hyla.conf config file (try "locate hyla.conf")
and add to it the correct font path, like (these are 2 lines, will be
word-wrapped):

FontMap:
"/usr/share/ghostscript/5.10:/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript:
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1"

FontPath:
"/usr/share/ghostscript/5.10:/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript:
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1"

you need to fill in the path you see doing "gs -h".
