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.
