I'm using the Hyper Canvas VSTi plugin for most of my GM work these

the pianos are good too. I agree that Creative's fonts aren't really all
that good (though I do like the pianos), but they're free (as in beer, I
think) and work well with TiMidity and fluidsynth.
Btw, I use the Fluid_R3 soundfont with TiMidity for synth work. To my
ears it's about par with Hyper Canvas.

I'm now reading about Windows' SC-55
implementation,
This isn't a "SC-55 implementation" -- while the samples are a reduced
version of the SC-55's samples, the MIDI implementation is essentially
only at the General MIDI level, and not fully GS compatible.

It may be the case that it contains the same samples even,
Creative's soundfonts were created by Emu. It is said that Roland's
sample set is more balanced.
