Hi Tom. Soundfonts can't be loaded onto your card. Only Audigy, or SBlive
cards with a hardware wavetable synth, and using the emu10k1 driver, are
capable of having soundfonts loaded onto them.
The alternatives are to use TiMidity, or use Qsynth and load soundfonts (.sf2)
into that.
GM soundfonts, and others are available from. http://www.hammersound.net/ ,
and other places on the Internet. All the best. Nigel.
