Specifically, what fonts have you tried ? I think fluidsynth has some troubles with large soundfonts, at least I've been unable to use qsynth with the Fluid_R3 font. Works fine with Creative's 8mbgmsfx.sf2 though. Youve connected qsynth's audio output to alsa_pcm in the Qjackctl audio connections panel ? Volume is up on the mixer ? Please let me know what fonts you've tried. Details help. :) Best, dp
