See, for instance the following code:

Code:
<TextBlock blockstyle="211" objid="212" textstyle="210">
<P>
<Span fontweight="900"> No problem with other attributes </Span>
<Span fontfacename="Courier10 BT Roman"> Extra period when switching to Courier </Span>
<Span fontfacename="Swis721 BT Roman" fontweight="900"> Same thing when switching to Sans Serif </Span>
</P>
</TextBlock>
The result is shown in the Figure attached.
Just converted your example. No periods. Hard to believe that parser adds something extra, its against principles of its operation. May be your device is doing it? What program are you using to see lrf preview?

Here is my example (both lrs and lrf) and the screenshoot:
