i dont know.  but from /usr/local/share/examples/xpdf/xpdfrc:

# These map the Base-14 fonts to the Type 1 fonts that ship with
# ghostscript.  You'll almost certainly want to use something like
# this, but you'll need to adjust this to point to wherever
# ghostscript is installed on your system.  (But if the fonts are
# installed in a "standard" location, xpdf will find them
# automatically.)

#displayFontT1 Times-Roman /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n021003l.pfb

<snip>

but they are commented out by default.
but i remember older times when they were not commented out.
