Ah, ok. there are two ways of drawing in the Display Window, one is via
the Display Text field the other via the Graphic field. The Display Text
was, historically, just a very simple text field - no font control etc.
The Graphic field was, historically, a name of a graphics file, but was
later extended to allow text characters drawn from a specified font.
This last is what Tenuto is using the actual definition of the character
is buried away in the Denemo code as

(define DENEMO_TENUTO "")
which may display something bizarre in your email reader. The font
specified is emmentaler, which is one of the LilyPond fonts, installed
by Denemo. So it *should* be found unless you have come across some
further bug in getting Windows to load fonts. If you navigate in Windows
Explorer to

 C:\Program Files\Denemo\usr\share\fonts\truetype\denemo you should find
emmentaler.ttf listed there and by clicking on it you should be able to
tell Windows to install it. If it starts displaying then there is still
a windows fonts installation issue :(
