That did it! I ran the two steps, and the second one told me it couldn't 
find Gentium Regular. When creating my font, I opened up the Gentium 
font and simply pasted in my 40 glyphs into the private area. (I am 
releasing the font under the OFL, so I am doing nothing unethical or 
illegal.) I changed the name of the font to Thoth Unicode, but I didn't 
realize I also needed to change the TTF names as well. I changed these, 
and the font works.

Thanks!
