I don't think that poppler tries to synthesize font styles, it just
depends on fontconfig to find an appropriate font.  Poppler could be
doing a better job, so feel free to open a bug report at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=poppler.  It might
not be a high priority though, since documents really should be using
embedded fonts.
