[Linux] How do I use SC-55 soundfont with GZDoom?

Forum rules
Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

First you need to unpack the sound font. SFPack is a compressed format that cannot be used as-is.
Once you have the .sf2 file, put it in a 'soundfonts' subfolder where your game data is and it should be found automatically.

First off, I apologize if this post has reached the wrong sub-forum.

I would like to utilize the SC-55.sfpack soundfont created by Patch93 to play music in GZDoom. I am running Ubuntu 18.04 with the latest GZDoom version. I downloaded the soundfont, but at this point I really have no idea what to do next. I read about CoolSoft, but it appears to be Windows-only. I also read that TiMidity or Fluidsynth might be able to act as a soundfont player, but I don't know how to set this up. Can anyone assist? Thanks!
