You have super power to do patches quicker than light...
You didn't repatch the xpdf-LANG/README files, though...
It isn't a blocker (though it should be better).

Moving to the issue of licencing I found that the 
LANG specific packages are under licences that are not GPL
compatible (distribution without modification). Since it is 
font information (data), it seems to me that it doesn't 
contradict fedora goals, however it is dubious from a legal
point of view to distribute the font information together
with GPL code. It isn't obvious since it is code and font 
information. 

If the GPL part and distributable parts have to
be split, it won't be obvious to do it since a simple split 
(for example all the xpdf-LANG*.tar.gz in a single package)
wouldn't be right: in the xpdf-LANG.tar.gz the encoding 
files are covered by the GPL, only the CMap/* files are 
covered by the GPL-incompatible licence...
