No, that must have been the problem. Now I have a new problem,
because I've tried several soundfonts, and some of them don't work at
all (no sound), and some of them produce a really scary noise. I
think they all came from either the SBLive cd or my old Soundblaster
CD.

One of the ones that produces a scary noise is called 8mbgmsfx.sf2.
Is that what you're thinking of? I don't seem to have an 8gmgsmt.sf2.
8MBGMSFX.SF2
that's the one from soundblaster cd (that came with the card), works
for me (kernel 2.6.5 with alsa, soundbalster live platinum), I use
sfxload to load it (IIRC you need /dev/sequencer working).
