I've run into this quite often. Typically I just create a symlink to where the font data is, then rerun 'faxsetup'. Ex:
ln -s /usr/share/ghostscript/8.70/lib /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts
Then, all is well.
Also, unrelated, ensure you disabled tokens in your Asterisk IAX config. Otherwise, iaxmodem will not register as it does not support tokens at this time.

Thank you. After I wrote I checked in /etc/hylafax/hyla.conf and that listed some of the directories where fonts are found in CentOS-6.3 and many places where they are not. So I treated the error message from faxsetup as spurious and proceeded on that basis. I had already encountered the difficulty with tokens and had set that to 'no' in the fax device profiles. (We are using the users and devices mode of Asterisk rather than extensions.)
I can now register each of the two fax lines I have configured. Albeit one at a time because I have only one spare POTS line to play with. However, whenever I call in I only get the ss-noservice.ulaw recording. I assume that is specifically an asterisk question so I will take to the Asterisk users list.
Thank you again for your help.
