It's the job of whoever has contact with the client to manage client expectations.

Body copy which is set in HTML does not and never will match a Photoshop document. Thy are two different animals. Copy created as part of an image comes from the PSD and will therefore look the same on the website.

Text can certainly be bold, so I'm not sure why that's not happening. Is the designer using web-only fonts in the PSD? When the designer presents the comp to the client, is the designer explaining, "This is just dummy copy for you to get an idea of how it will look. The website isn't going to match exactly for the body copy"?

If the designer is using a font the website can't render, that's the designer's fault, and the designer shouldn't be shifting the blame to the HTML coders. If the client is demanding Palatino and not understanding that the website is going to display Times, that's the fault of whoever told the client they could have Palatino.
