Gort's the fella. His soundfonts are tiny, but they're also very
optimised for the SB Live; the latest versions (v3) aren't horribly
out of tune on everything else like the earlier ones were, but they
still don't sound quite right on anything but an emu10k1.

A bit of digging turned this one up:

     (from http://ocmnet.com/saxguru/Timidity.htm)

It's a 6MB GM soundfont that was distributable with Timidity,
apparently - that might be worth further investigation.
