To fully exploit the capabilities of SynthFont you definitely need a goof General Midi SoundFont. A GM SoundFont has presets (instruments) defined for all 128 melodic midi programs, plus at least one percussion set. Here is one very good GM SoundFont you can download right now: bennetng_AnotherGS_v2-1.sfArk.
