No, you didn't miss it. And I think I may have confused you again. This 
is what I put in my scores:

\paper {
  #(define fonts
    (make-pango-font-tree
    "gonville" ; notation font
    "emmentaler" ; brace font
    "Century Schoolbook L"
    "sans"
    "monospace"
    (/ staff-height pt 20)))
}

and it works for me every time. For now, I have the following working 
quite well for notation fonts:

- emmentaler
- gonville
- cadence
- parnassus
- bravura

All are limited to the full glyph set that LilyPond already recognizes. 
For the brace font, I haven't even attempted to create my own since I 
like the emmentaler ones, but gonville also works fine. I've also 
created a basic font sample sheet that resembles one I saw on someone 
else's website. It doesn't cover everything, just the most common 
glyphs, for now. 

Here's a recent build of Cadence. Just unzip and put in the "otf" 
folder. I'm also attaching a font sample sheet for each of the above 
fonts. Let me know what you think.

Abraham
