Are you sure?  Because I use `font-latex-match-bold-command-keywords'
and fontification just happens.  However, if you read the documentation
for font-latex-*-command-keywords, you see that you can't simply set it.
I used customize and have since restarted Emacs, so I don't know if
customize can update it in the running instance of Emacs.  You should
be able to use setq as well, as long as you ensure you set it _before_
AUCTeX is loaded.
