Ok. I have found out a little more. I launched inkskape that has been compiled against the same gtk version and other libs. Inkskape does display the denemo fonts but not the Musical Symbols. In fact when I tried to select a character from the we denemo font, Musical Symbols was not even on the list. I could use the few musical symbols that were in the Miscellaneous Symbols category. I have also learned that the glyphs that were working in denemo were the ones in the Miscellaneous Symbols category. In Inkskape if I tried to copy paste a Musical Symbol glyph from the denemo font I get the D384 (or whatever number) that I saw in denemo.

It would be easy to be tricked in this test by the presence of an old denemo.ttf somewhere on the machine ... are you able to search to make sure?
