  This can be fixed by adding the following to the ~/.xpdrc file

fontFile Times-Italic /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021023l.pfb
fontFile Times-Roman  /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021003l.pfb

N.B.

  The URL for new versions is wrong.

  A new version of the software is avilable.

Hi Bjarni,

display font substitution is done by poppler by default, and these
should be exactly the defaults that poppler is using.

Can you re-check if this is still an issue with the version of xpdf
currently in testing, and if yes if you have any interfering fontFile
commands, for example in (an old version of) /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc or any
other file included from there or ~/.xpdfrc?

And if this doesn't lead to a solution, can you provide an example PDF
file where you experience this issue, so we can try and reproduce it?
