 Replying to [comment:2 macosx12345@…]:
 >  You can get rid of the `Error: No display font for [...]` errors by
 editing the /opt/local/etc/xpdfrc file and uncommenting the lines that
 start with `displayFontT1` .

 Well, this is not very useful here (sorry), as the default xpdfrc file
 provided with xpdf does not match the fonts that come with today's
 MacPorts' version of ghostscript (maybe it used in the past).

 Instead, I suggest using the fonts that the port `urw-fonts` provides. I
 attached a patch proposal to xpdf's portfile that removes the run-depency
 to ghostscript, adds a run-dependency to urw-fonts and lets xpdf use the
 fronts from `urw-fonts` by default.

 I successfully tested it on an Intel iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.4 with
 MacPorts 1.9.1. When opening a PDF document that uses, say, the Times-
 Roman font, I no longer see empty pages but the actual characters.

 (This does not solve the paper definition issue.)
