I've pulled the original out the logs and it looks like the original file was received as gibberish (well, binary) on our end. Are you sure the file on your end really is a plain text file? What did you use to create it? OS/Browser?
it's a real txt file. I used wordpad to paste the text into it. windows 7.
you need to specify how do you need the file to be formatted, if the tool you use is so sensitive.
In any case, I'd expect you use some parser to check if the file is text or binary and send email if there is a problem with the file.
Unfortunately enscript which is responsible for text->ps conversion in the fax tools doesn't support Unicode. I didn't realize this when I wrote it. Further, it looks like most of the standard tools either don't or only have partial Unicode support as well so it may take a bit to track down a solution. (This process could be sped up by anyone with a good suggestion on how to turn Unicode into postscript using Lucida Sans Typewritter - optimally - with commonly available linux cli tools.)
Meanwhile, I've added a note about the lack of Unicode support in the wiki and will add a check for Unicode in the conversion code.
I tried sending a fax using the Chrome browser ... clicked Send but nothing was sent. Sent a fax fine using IE9.
Didn't see anything about Chrome or other browsers at https://wiki.sonic.net/wiki/Send_A_Fax
Thanks.
hmm, works fine now, Chrome 12.0.742.91 on Windows. Not sure what went wrong last night. Sorry for the false alarm.
nice-to-have: for plain .txt files, can the font be a bit darker? Thanks.
