Comment(by s.choi@…):

 Although this ticket was opened a long time ago, I would like to point out
 my
 solution for those who will experience more or less similar problem to
 this
 - I have come to here through Google search.

 Basically, this font rendering error comes with a wrong font pointer in
 your
  "xpdfrc" file.

 If you open the file with a text editor (e.g., "vim
 /opt/local/etc/xpdfrc"),
 you will see lots of "displayFontT1" and its location. The locations of
 those font files may differ from system to system. In my case (Mac OS X
 10.5.7 and Darwin port 1.7.1, and xpdf version 3.02 Revision 5), the font
 locations are as follows:

 {{{
 displayFontT1 Times-Roman   /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-fonts/n021003l.pfb
 displayFontT1 Times-Italic  /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-fonts/n021023l.pfb
 displayFontT1 Times-Bold /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-fonts/n021004l.pfb
 displayFontT1 Times-BoldItalic /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-
 fonts/n021024l.pfb
 displayFontT1 Helvetica     /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-fonts/n019003l.pfb
 displayFontT1 Helvetica-Oblique /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-
 fonts/n019023l.pfb
 displayFontT1 Helvetica-Bold /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-fonts/n019004l.pfb
 displayFontT1 Helvetica-BoldOblique /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-
 fonts/n019024l.pfb
 displayFontT1 Courier /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-fonts/n022003l.pfb
 displayFontT1 Courier-Oblique /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-
 fonts/n022023l.pfb
 displayFontT1 Courier-Bold /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-fonts/n022004l.pfb
 displayFontT1 Courier-BoldOblique /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-
 fonts/n022024l.pfb
 displayFontT1 Symbol        /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-fonts/s050000l.pfb
 displayFontT1 ZapfDingbats  /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-fonts/d050000l.pfb
 }}}


 If you can get it right, then xpdf will not complain about displaying
 those
 fonts. Hope this helps.

 Finally, this is also explained at the original xpdf homepage -
 http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/problems.html .
