Ah, right - I had forgotten.

Well, there is still the problem of naming the utf-8 codes; it occurred
to me overnight that I could write a routine to output a set of scheme
definitions by using cairo to query the font (I think you can ask cairo
for the name of a given glyph in a given font, and I now know where the
unicode blocks that emmentaler uses are, thanks to the fontforge
Elements->Font Info->Unicode Ranges feature, U+E000 to U+F8FF and I
think glib has something to generate the utf8 string from the unicode
one). In the course of all this I noticed that the LilyPond sources
mention feta and parmesan but not emmentaler so perhaps things have
already moved on... Using the routine would future proof us somewhat.
