As the documentation says, use the pbmplus package.
Some nice fonts are already with the mgetty+sendfax-0.22 package.
An example how it looks like:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
(echo "`date`    CALIX        +49 89 40 16 19    Page 1/1";
 echo; \
 echo; \
 cat $i) | \
sed 's/^/    /' | \
pbmtext -font /usr/local/lib/mgetty+sendfax/cour25.pbm | pbmtog3 > myfax.g3

/usr/local/sbin/sendfax -v -l ttyS1 401619 myfax.g3
                              ^^^^^ ^^^^^^
			      port  fax nr
-------------------------------------------------------------------

It works for me without problem, also for long texts.
