That says it's a warning, not an error, so it shouldn't stop 
anything working.  To get rid of it you have to define a 
valid glyph for each alteration even when you don't use them.

It's too short.  You've taken out the support code for the 
arbitrary accidentals.  Also, this part:

looks out of date.  I used to do it that way, but there's a 
better way to set the font.
