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.pfbdisplayFontT1 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.pfbdisplayFontT1 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.pfbdisplayFontT1 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 . Cheers, Soo-Hyun MacPorts wrote:

since a few weeks I only get this error if I try to invoke xpdf
{{{ Error: No paper information available - using defaults 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' Warning: Widget must be a VendorShell.

I reinstalled openmotif, poppler and xpdf without any change.
I have not found anything in the others tickets. It used to work and I am not aware of any change, unfortunately.
Any hints? Martin
