But emacs does the font if I manually select it from the Set Font menu as
described above. If I could convert those steps in to some lisp then perhaps
I can just hack those functions in at the beginning so it loads up.

I have the font working now when I look at emacs and so far at work I have
never encountered a character that it cannot handle.
