I've been a registered Synthfont user for a very long time now. Synthfont certainly can meet the need for a GM sound module, but you can also substitute any sounds you want in any slot you want. And there are some good soundfonts out there as well, and unlike the hardware Creative card that we used to have run soundfonts on, Synthfont doesn't care how big the sample is.

And yes, Kenneth Rundt (the developer) really cares about his program. And he also has the Viena utility (essentially his version of the Creative Vienna utility) for bundling and managing soundfont files. So you can easily create your own single soundfont file composed of sounds from many other files. Makes managing your sounds that much easier. I think I've got about 100GB of soundfonts that I've collected over the years (some downloads, others purchased).
