It does.  Now I just have to figure out how to get timidity to use soundfonts.
As the end of my post I'd asked about documentation - my install doesn't have
any and the site linked to from the timidity website is currently broken.

I'm all ready to go with sound fonts, as soon as I know how.

Windows NT Beer: Comes in 32-oz. cans, but you can only buy it by the 
truckload. This causes most people to have to go out and buy bigger 
refrigerators. The can looks just like Windows 3.1 Beer's, but the 
company promises to change the can to look just like Windows 95 Beer's --
after Windows 95 beer starts shipping. Touted as an "industrial strength" 
beer, and suggested only for use in bars.
