Thank you for the answer.
I added "options snd-emu10k1 max_buffer_size=256 max_synth_voices=256" in 
/etc/modules.d/alsa and I can load and use the soundfont.
But when doing 

#  cat /proc/asound/card0/wavetableD1
Device: Emu10k1
Ports: 4
Addresses: 17:0 17:1 17:2 17:3
Use Counter: 0
Max Voices: 64
Allocated Voices: 0
Memory Size: 268435456
Memory Available: 26109738
Allocated Blocks: 1716
SoundFonts: 1
Instruments: 9002
Samples: 1715
Locked Instruments: 9002
Locked Samples: 1715

it show at I still have only 64 voices.
Is it normal?

I have other questions too. Is it a limitation beside the amount of ram in my 
system with max_buffer_size?
Is it other limitation such as hardare limitation with this card?
