All the above. When I click edit I see the dialog with D834 in it. I delete
it. Then I paste *any* of the denemo fonts besides the flat symbol, I get
an image with this in it [D834] (just like the picture I sent you). There
is no font displayed. In pasting it converts to this default image the only
has the letters D834 in it. I click ok and the button now has that same
default image D834.

Ok. I understand you on this now. I placed "abc" then pasted the treble
clef behind it. I then get abc[D834] appears in the dialog. I click ok and
abc[D834] is on the button. No treble clef.

Ok. If this is libxml2 fault how do I test to confirm this?
