I'm working through the issue with the Ghostscript fonts and have the
faxsetup script working.

The remaining problem is that the fonts generated and listed in the
Fontmap.HylaFAX file (generated using HylaFAX+ genfontmap.ps), is that
the fonts listed cannot be found on the system.

It appears the fonts required would normally be in
${LOCALBASE}/share/ghostscript/${VERSION}/Resource/Font.

Looking through changes in CVSWEB, I haven't found any comments relating
to the Resource folder, let alone why it was removed. It appears they
disappeared from the build on the 27th of January 2022 - see
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/checkout/ports/print/ghostscript/gnu/pkg/PLIST,v?rev=1.30

Would someone be able to explain why this change was made?

Cheers,

Larry.

P.S. The new cvsweb is much better :)
