Lowercase As can be confused just as easily. As stated -- if we need the
bold icon to stand out more, I propose we simply make it a bit thicker.
Nobody seems to have had any problems with the current Tango icon set,
which uses uppercase letters.

Oddly, Inkscape seems to use lowercase A only for the bold and italic
icons. Every other icon with text uses a capital A to symbolize it.

Uppercase icons are crisper, which is one of the design goals.
