Description:   Opened: 2006-04-21 18:30 0000 
Maybe we can do without the /etc/xpdfrc file but its man-page? Fortunately,
when I needed to specify the browser command in my $HOME/.xpdfrc today, the
xpdf man-page happened to have the information I needed but there's likely
other stuff in the xpdfrc man-page that I'll want to know about in future.

last I heard the xpdfrc is no longer needed because the fonts are now managed
with fontconfig and freetype.
What do you need xpdfrc for exactly?

The xpdfrc manpage is still available in the xpdf-source I just removed ll
xpdfrc stuff for the xpdf-poppler.

What do I need it for exactly? A fully functional xpdf perhaps? Excuse the
exasperated sarcasm but there are many options in xpdfrc and it isn't even true
that the subset of the options in it concerning fonts are redundant (if they
were, Derek would have deprecated or dropped them wouldn't he?). Removing
important pieces of software packages on the basis of rumour is not very smart
and I cannot understand why jakub@gentoo.org changed the severity to trivial
either. This Gentoo introduced bug isn't trivial, it's just inexplicably
careless and thoughtless.

I added both to the ebuild, thanks. Sync in two hours and remerge xpdf if you
want to get them :)

Will do. Thanks for fixing it - and for your forbearance ;-)
