I quite like gzdoom.sf2 and I'm going to use it by default simply because most people will, I guess. However, I also have a soundfont file called TimGM6mb.sf2 which I got after wildweasel talked about it ( viewtopic.php?f=35&t=55379&p=980744&hilit=TimGM6mb#p980744 ). Personally, I think it sounds better but it is nearly twice the size of gzdoom.sf2 so I guess it's not really suitable for inclusion in the distribution.
Might it be an idea for the Wiki to be updated to somehow list suitable, tried and tested soundfonts (perhaps with brief reviews for each one)? I know that there is lots of information about sound fonts and various links on the wiki but there isn't a nice, simple, easily accessible list that just has links to specific sound fonts that are known to work well with *zdoom. (At least I couldn't find one.) I know there are links to forum threads but, again, they aren't a nice simple list and you have to trawl through quite a few posts to get the information that you need. A simple list in the wiki might help the uninitiated user to quickly get themself sorted out with a good soundfont. I know it took me a while to work out and find what I needed.
Also, is there any way of having a soundfont menu within *zdoom? I don't even know if that is technically possible but if you were using Timidity, Fluidsynth, etc then a menu item that allowed you to cycle through sound fonts in a specified directory would be very nice. I don't know if *zdoom has that kind of file-finding capability?
