I haven't got that soundfont, so I can't compare here. Certainly with
the soundfonts I do have, Fluidsynth produces a long level string
tone when I play a long note. The fonts I'm using probably just
contain fairly straightforward sample loops.
Meanwhile I found the same happens with FluidR3 soundfont. And
this soundfont is freely available.
Please have at look at the end of

There you find the sound of 2 tied whole
notes created by the hardware synthesis, TiMidity,
and FluidSynth on basis of FluidR3 soundfont. Again:
FluidSynth creates "attacking" (and very silent) strings.
I also added the MIDI file. Do you really get different results
with FluidR3 soundfont and FluidSynth ?
