It seems to me the simple solution would be to create a symlink: ln -s /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript /usr/share/ghostscript/8.64/Resource/Font Though, it would be nice if it was done by ebuild. Most probably just a configuration problem. The fonts, it's most probably looking for, are those in /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript. Yes, these are the fonts, I guess ghostscript change the location but not hylafax yet; so making simple link solved the problem. But I'm not sure if it is a gentoo setup that change the font location or ghostscript. If it is ghostscript I'll report this to hylafax. Are you sure hylafax doesn't let you configure that path ? It seems to me this issue dates back to 2008 or earlier. I've found post on hylfax forum somebody was asking/reporting the same thing: --------copy----------- Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:27:49 +0200 From: Giuliano David <g.david@vlk.it> To: breedish <breedish@yandex.ru> Subject: Re: [hylafax-users] Ghostscript fonts User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 (X11/20080502) My suggestion is to install Ghostscript before. THEN re-compile and re-install Hylafax. It solved the problem for me.

I don't think hylafax has any setting when it comes to ghostscript fonts. running from: /var/spool/fax/config find -type f -print0 | xargs -r0 grep -F "ghostscript' find -type f -print0 | xargs -r0 grep -F "gv' is not showing any relevant entries. It seems to me ghostscript is not reporting correctly the font or hylafax can not find them :-/ I'll try to ask on hylafax forum. Pozdrowiena. The config settings are a bit non-obvious - it's FontMap and FontPath in hyla.conf Is this still a problem with current ghostscript? If yes, which version? No reply for half a year. I'm not sure how it is related to ghostscript but Gentoo font are complete mess. I've installed "flpsed" and the scaling of fonts in that package did not work at all. It compiled OK, no errors but for some reason or another the fonts on the screen only showed 8pts even if I selected 24pts. Installing an additional fonts solved that issue. Here are the fonts are have installed: dev-texlive/texlive-fontsrecommended media-fonts/arphicfonts media-fonts/baekmuk-fonts media-fonts/corefonts media-fonts/liberation-fonts media-fonts/urw-fonts virtual/ttf-fonts x11-apps/xlsfonts x11-proto/fontsproto "flpsed" rely on ghostscript but when ghostscript couldn't find the correct fonts "flpsed" wouldn't scale fonts on the screen correctly. (In reply to comment #9) fltk is by no means a good example in regard of font matching. |
