Make sure first that you have the awesfx package installed. I use this script 
that someone gave me. It runs from /home/username/.kde/autostart.

Presuming you have copied the soundfont from the cdrom for the soundcard to 
your home directory, it goes like this.

In .kde/autostart right click, and select create new, then text file.
Name it something like soundfont.sh , with these contents.

#!/bin/bash
## Created by me to load soundfonts on login
sfxload <path-to-soundfont>

In my case this is: sfxload CT4MGM.SF2  , presuming you have the soundfont 
installed in the /home/user directory.

Make sure to make the soundfont file executable in it's 
properties/permissions.

Nigel.
