We have a call 

add_font_directory (DATAROOTDIR "/fonts");

in main(). I think it would make sense to put a printf here (or use gdb)
to find out what DATAROOTDIR is set to in your installation. Presumably
not the right thing
 If needed DATAROOTDIR could be set to something extracted from the
environment (using g_getenv() ) and then that could be set up in your
startup script.

There are a whole heap of env variables which we are setting in the
windows case

  g_setenv ("PANGO_PREFIX", prefix, TRUE);
  g_setenv ("PANGO_MODULE_VERSION", "1.6.0", TRUE);
  g_setenv ("PANGO_SO_EXTENSION", ".dll", TRUE);
  g_print ("Setting PANGO_PREFIX=%s\n", prefix);

  g_setenv ("GTK_MODULE_VERSION", "2.10.0", TRUE);
  g_setenv ("GTK_SO_EXTENSION", ".dll", TRUE);
  g_setenv ("GTK_PREFIX", prefix, TRUE);
  g_print ("Setting GTK_PREFIX=%s\n", prefix);

So they could be set in this case too.

It sounds like this is very close now.
For the release, I have noticed a problem with the LilyPond generated
for windows, the default tagline (involving the file name) is not being
escaped which generates errors because of the backslash. It still
prints, but it will be good to generate a fixed version once the release
is complete. I also have a wrinkle in the translations to sort out.

Does this file exist (in the original build installation and in the
moved one)?

We always see this message or something like it on Windows. I don't know
about it though.

This one may mean that the print view won't work or that loading a pdf
for transcribing will be broken.
