Solved!  Solved!  Solved!  (I think.)

Xpdf required the original 35 urw-fonts PostScript fonts.

Recently, these fonts were superseded by a new font set:

However, xpdf still retains in the xpdfrc config file
the mapping to the original font set.

There are two possible solutions:

1) remap to the newer fonts, which may not work
because the types are different.

2) install the original fonts. which are available
here:

I need to try both of these, but it's going to be
a lot of trouble.
