I think I may have installed gs fonts as well without realizing it. The
weird thing is that the xpdf config file pointed to a helvetica font that
I had in my system:
displayFontT1 Helvetica
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019003l.pfb

That file existed, and yet it wasn't being read until I installed the
xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi.
