Hi. Got myself a load of soundfonts from

Note that the native linux util is only for sfark version 2 files. You
can use the windows version through wine.

Hi Bill. I sort of take back what I said about wine. SfArk works under wine on
FC2, and so does the sfpack program, although that won't start from the wine
menu, but anyway it works. So, sort of a thumbs up for wine for these two
fairly basic programs. I suppose it's moving forwards, rather than backwards.

I run the full version of Battery in Wine. I know Geoff Beasley runs
the full version of Kontakt. Wine functions at a very high level if
you find the right applications.
I 'trick' is knowing to pull in real Windows dll's once in awhile.
That helps a lot. It got Savihost running for me.
If we had an audio developer willing to look after the Wine Jack
driver then Wine would be even more useful.
