Dear Maintainer,

adding fonts to the frontend of hylafax is not very easy. The hardcoded
font paths in hyla.conf seem somewhat outdated, and the whole
mechanism seems very fragile (hardcoding ghostscript directories).

Also it  is not very well documented what has to be done to add
fonts to the frontend (e.g. change the default text font from
Courier to something else).

Thanks for considering,
