This defines "verdana" only for the normal font-weight.

Here you access the font with font-weight="bold" for which there is no
font-triplet in your code. Please note that FOP can't create bold fonts
from non-bold fonts. You'd have to find a bold font in the first place.

If you change from font-weight="bold" to font-weight="normal" you should
get the Verdana font but not in bold.
