Hi together
I'm trying to install hylafax. I'm running into the above error msg when I try to do a 
sendfax -n -d <number> <file>.
I guess that I'm missing some type 1 fonts but I can't find what and where to install.
the FAQ getting from HYLAFAX said the following but it seems I'm to stupid to 
interpret it.

Q. 
textfmt - No Font Metric Information found ... 
I originally FTP'd and installed the binaries for Linux and found the following 
problem when I run sendfax: 


    /usr/local/sbin/textfmt ... blaah blaah blaah ...  No Font Metric
    Information found for "Courier-Bold"...

The HylaFAX client programs expect AFM files in a specific directory. This directory 
is defined at build time with the AFM 
configuration parameter (look at config.site or the HTML documentation), displayed 
during the configure procedure and 
you can alter it through the prompts. After configure has run, the value of AFM is set 
in the defs file that is generated. 

If the above information is not what you were looking for then you might look for 
other reasons why textfmt cannot locate 
a file called "Courier-Bold" in the AFM directory--perhaps the permissions on the file 
are setup incorrectly? 
------------------- snap---------

here are no hints about the "specific directory" 
I have some files in /usr/share/fonts/afms/adobe/ 
so, if this is correct, where ist the place to point to these fonts from hylafax??

anyone out who can help me?
