It is defaulting to another font.
To avoid this, say
    text \markup \normal-text "Some text"

Thanks Robin,

BTW, how can I override font-family and font-series in a "parametric" way?

I tried in several ways, for example: 

c'-\tweak text \markup { \normal-text \abs-fontsize #16 \override #'(font-series . italic) "Some text" } -1

But none worked.

I could obtain the wanted result by using explicit commands, like \italic or \typewriter: 

c'-\tweak text \markup { \normal-text \abs-fontsize #16 \italic "Some text" } -1

But this is not what I want; I would like to specify font-series and font-family as a parameter (as I did for \abs-fontsize)...

Best,

P
