faulty fax files from new Ghostscript

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Fax generation with Ghostscript no longer works under the new Linux.
Ghostscript produces faulty files, as can be seen from the error
messages of Frank Cringle's viewfax and from the way Sendfax fails to
send them through, ending with an RTN error and nothing sent.

I wrote the following to SuSE in German.  Maybe someone from this list
knows a solution. Unfortunately, the new Linux contains a lot of
really messy bugs of this sort, about which I am busy reporting.  I am
glad I didn't throw my old installation away.

Please note that the below-described NOTLOESUNG (workaround solution)
to the problem requires that you work on a level below faxrunq.  I
have written a whole makefile- and shellscript- based TeX menu
environment that I will make public soon and that needs a hack in
sendfax which Gert dislikes, telling me to use faxrunq.  I hope to
write separately about that soon.
