"uicontrol" renders differently between projects

I just discovered something very puzzling.
In our doc set, the previous writers used the "uicontrol" tag to render not just UI controls, but then they started using it as a replacement for the "<b>" tag to bold text. I think it's poor form to do this, but it seemed to work. Now I've discovered a glitch: in most of the PDF transformations, the "uicontrol" text come out as bold, which is to be expected. But I just discovered a PDF in which "uicontrol" did not come out as bold! Rather, it came across as normal paragraph font.
Do you know what might be causing this? I'm using the same PDF transformation as the other documents.
