Hi,

I guess you are using the same file for all variants of the font:
regular, italic, bold and bold+italic.
Typically, a font family is a set of 4 font files, one for each variant.
Some application can alter the regular font to generate a bold (or
italic) version, but FOP doesn't.

Note that to get a good quality layout, it is a good practice to have a
complete font family, with 1 file per variant.
