I believe the soundfont sf2 complies with GM or GS mappings so
load the soundfont into fluidsynth, create a midi device in sg and
load the GM.rgd into that and point it at the fluidsynth port in rg.
The GM patch names should come up in the instrument panel.
'works for me.

Importing the sf2 in the 'manage midi devices' dialog has a mostly
decorative function. Ie, it only effects the the labels that RG
assigns to tracks.
If you are fairly new to this sort of stuff what i bet you want to do
is to load the font into a synth to make some sounds.
This is done in qsynth itself and the process is fairly self explanatory.
Once the sf2 is loaded in the synth, there is no urgent need to import
it into RG unless you find it overly confusing to have RG calling your
presets by the wrong name.

Hi,
I'm struggling to understand the instructions on importing a
soundfont into Rosegarden. The Rosegarden Handbook says this is
achievable (instead of importing an rgd file).
What I'm, exactly, trying to achieve is to replace the Programs in
the Instrument Parameter List to those in the
Guitars-Universal-V1.5.sf2.
I've tried using the Studio > Manage MIDI Devices Dialog to Import
but am only getting three voices as a result (there are many, many
in the soundfont).
I'm using QSynth and have tried loading this soundfont in there
but this changes nothing in Rosegarden.
OK, apologies in advance for the newbie nature of the post.
Mike
