Hi all and happy new year.

To overwrite the typeface/font in LyricText I'm doing this:

        ```words = \lyricmode { 
                 \override LyricText.font-name = "American Typewriter" 
                I am a ly -- ric
        }```

Where "American Typerwriter" is a TrueType font located at 
`/System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental/AmericanTypewriter.ttc` and comes up in the 
output of `#(ly:font-config-display-fonts)`:

family American Typewriter
 American Typewriter:style=Semibold
family American Typewriter
 American Typewriter:style=Bold
family Academy Engraved LET
 Academy Engraved LET:style=Plain
family American Typewriter
 American Typewriter:style=Condensed
Etc...

However I can't seem to get the `bold` or `semibold` series to render:

Have tried various cases and variants on `\override LyricText.font-series = 
#'bold`.

Seems it's looking for a symbol and not a string.

As always input gratefully appreciated.
