Changed in: Poppler (upstream)
         Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected

Comment:
Upstream rejected the bug with that comment, doing the same for that task: 

"Closing the bug because what we do is as fontconfig what font is better to  
handle   
  
Helvetica Bold  
  
and in [K]Ubuntu it answers  
  
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/VeraBd.ttf  
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf  
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/VeraBI.ttf  
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/VeraIt.ttf  
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019004l.pfb  
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019044l.pfb  
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019003l.pfb  
..... lots more of fonts .....  
  
If you want to get the "nice" n019004l.pfb that is really Helvetica Bold you  
have to bug Ubuntu packagers to get the "correct" fontconfig configuration.  
  
That is also why when removing those packages you get what you think it is 
"correct" rendering "
