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.
