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

Regards.
