Nevermind my earlier comment:

The preview image shown in the import dialog is rendered via cairo-poppler (which likely outlines the embedded fonts). The actual import (conversion) of the PDF file uses different internal import routines (during which embedded fonts are replaced with closest-matching fonts found among the installed fonts of the local system).
