Surprises (2)-(4) happen because font-name is meant to be a

You have to use font-style instead.

Sorry, I was misremembering, font-style doesn't exist.
The solution is more like:
\version "2.23.80"
\paper {
fonts =
#(set-global-fonts
#:roman "C059"
#:sans "Nimbus Sans"
#:typewriter "Nimbus Mono PS")
}
\markup \bold \sans "abcde"
Nimbus Sans is the default for #:sans, but you could
replace it with Nimbus Sans L.
Alternatively:
\version "2.23.80"
\markup \override #'(font-name . "Nimbus Sans Bold") "abcde"
Jean,
Thanks for the examples.
This is what I'm using so far at the end of my main ly file to get the
fonts loaded:
\markup \override #'(font-name . "Nimbus Sans Bold") "ABCDEFG#b in
/NimbusSans-Bold ~/Helvetica-Bold"
\markup \override #'(font-name . "C059 Bold") "ABCDEFG#b in
/C059-Bold ~/Times-Bold"
\markup \override #'(font-name . "C059") "ABCDEFG#b in /C059-Roman
~/Times"
\markup \override #'(font-name . "Emmentaler-20") "ABCDEFG#b in
Emmentaler-20
I'll translate it to hide the output, but I'll probably have to put it
inside an explicit bookpart since it forces the title/composer like on
the front page.
Would be nice if lilypond had a way to load a resource into the
postscript file without having to produce this extra output, or sledge
hammer the bold/italic styles.
So does this sort of code have to be at the end because you can't
un-break the damage from the sledge hammer?
