Wait.  I *think* Poppler is chopping a PS font name and passing to fontconfig. 
So, if the real font name has space, Poppler has to convert dash to space, but
if the real font name actually has dash, the conversion is bogus.  Back to a
known issue: we need matching by PS font name.  That, or make fontconfig ignore
dash in family name matching as it does for space.  Or, make poppler remove the
dash instead of replacing it with space.
