Re: problem modifying articulation mark

[Mats Bengtsson]

The accent symbol, just as the note heads, clefs, other articulations
and many other things, are typeset using a special font that's included
with LilyPond (see appendix "The Feta font" in the user manual). This 
font does not include any bold face versions of the symbols, so that's 
why you don't see any difference if you change the font-series
or font-shape, for example.
