Sorry, that question was on the assumption that it was not present in
the text entry widget, but as it *is* present then of course there is no
need to paste it in.

No need to focus on palettes.c, if the whole-note symbol doesn't show in
the regular menus, then there is nothing special about palettes.c, it is
failing to find the font for some whole class of gtk widgets (labels of
one sort or another I guess). The fact that the font is found for the
text entry widget used for editing the label means that this is some
sort of problem with the gtk markup stuff. We use gtk markup for various
things inside Denemo (most notably I've been using it to draw attention
to the status bar by drawing things extra large and in color there - do
these work? For example, the shortcut p brings up a message on the
status bar in large green letters - is that happening?).

Do you have this stuff built for any other platforms? (I don't know
anyone with a Mac).
