I'm not sure if this has already been considered so
apologies if it has. The problem is that xpdf has no font
dependencies so that if a package that provides fonts usable
by xpdf (e.g. ghostscript) isn't installed you get the
following errors when you run xpdf and, if the document
doesn't have fonts embedded in it, no text.
Error: No display font for 'Courier' Error: No display font for 'Courier-Bold' Error: No display font for 'Courier-BoldOblique' Error: No display font for 'Courier-Oblique' Error: No display font for 'Helvetica' Error: No display font for 'Helvetica-Bold' Error: No display font for 'Helvetica-BoldOblique' Error: No display font for 'Helvetica-Oblique' Error: No display font for 'Symbol' Error: No display font for 'Times-Bold' Error: No display font for 'Times-BoldItalic' Error: No display font for 'Times-Italic' Error: No display font for 'Times-Roman' Error: No display font for 'ZapfDingbats' |

Besides, gsfonts has just moved the fonts from the "standard" location in /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts to /usr/share/fonts/Type1. For xpdf (and other programs based on it, such as kpdf) to find them, there are some alternatives:
1. Put the fonts back in /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts
2. Symbolic link from /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts to /usr/share/fonts/Type1
3. displayFontT1 options in /etc/xpdfrc
