Package: xpdf Version: 3.03-7 I seem to be having the same problem with some text not showing up in some pdf files. I've also been able to debug the problem and possibly track down the cause.
It seems to be the different behaviour between xpdf and poppler with external font substitution in the SplashOutputDev::doUpdateFont method. In the example file (http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/21984e.pdf) the external ttf font ArialMT is substituted for a local pfb font Helvetica (/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019003l.pfb). In the poppler version of the code the font file n019003l.pfb is loaded as a TrueTypeFont as defined in the pdf file. In the xpdf version the font file's type is detected by lower level code and this type is then used to load the font.
