xpdf enables TrueType hinting by default, but poppler disable it by default. There is a long discussion whether TrueType hinting should be enabled by default (because some fonts are recognized that the unhinted result is better than the hinted result), and so please don't request as poppler should enable the hinting by default. Of course you can modify the poppler source and build your own poppler binary that enables TrueType hinting by default.
