 The ones from your current port, which are the soundfonts Debian provide
 in their fluid-soundfont package :)

 test anything else.

 Same here.


 > What would be the options? If we use `port select`, then I don't
 understand what happens if none is selected. If we are talking about
 selecting the font for TiMidity, we could create a port `timidity-config
 +freepats [+]fluid` that would only install a single configuration file.

 Just like with other ports the selection mechanism would allow to select a
 default soundfont from among the installed soundfonts, in such a way that
 you can get the soundfont you want in all situations. I think qsynth was
 the reason I created the symlink: it take a soundfont path, and then seems
 to use the file in there that comes first in standard alphanumeric
 sorting.

 > I don't understand what this does and how it works.

 I'm not thinking very straight today, is the explanation above clearer?
