For some reason, xpdf (version 3.00, as installed on FreeBSD 4.9 by
the ports system) can't find the Courier, Times, Helvetica and Symbol
fonts that are built into it. Using xfontsel to try the selectors
listed in xpdfrc finds the fonts just fine.
Clues? Hints? Anything?

I recently asked for help finding a wireless lan card. I got a couple
