What about lines like these (for the language support packages)
cidToUnicode Adobe-GB1 \
/usr/share/xpdf/chinese-simplified/Adobe-GB1.cidToUnicode
unicodeMap ISO-2022-CN \
/usr/share/xpdf/chinese-simplified/ISO-2022-CN.unicodeMap
cMapDir Adobe-GB1 /usr/share/fonts/cmap/adobe-gb1
toUnicodeDir /usr/share/fonts/cmap/adobe-gb1
