Hi Dan,
a new hylafax version should be released tomorrow, but this bug isn't
addressed. The problem is that hylafax require a TIFF or POSTSCRIPT, so
an image file, as input.

For many reasons, a utility called "textfmt" has been provided to
convert ASCII to POSTSCRIPT, but it cannot be used to read UTF-8 as
well.

A useful file, /etc/hylafax/typerules, is available in order to convert
input files in POSTSCRIPT or TIFF.

I checked how to add a rule able to convert UTF-8 into POSTSCRIPT and
the only way I could think of is using the command "enscript" that
currently does not support utf-8. Please note that you may already use
enscript for many character sets.

Are you aware of any program, available in Debian, that may be used as
filter? If such program exists, I would gladly add a rule in the next
Debian package; otherwise I should probably close this bug report.

Bye,
Giuseppe
