[PlanetCCRMA] general soundfont questions

I got all inspired after being introduced to lead sheets and playing 
piano, today.  I'm pretty sure I can set up vkeybd, Rosegarden4, Jack, 
and QSynth? to learn how to play chords using my PC keyboard.  Somebody 
stop me, if that's a ridiculous claim.

I started reading through the Rosegarden4 manual to set up stuff, and 
quickly arrived at the part that calls for loading soundfonts.  Does 
CCRMA include general soundfonts when I install?  When I run command: # 
locate soundfont
/usr/include/sound/soundfont.h
/usr/share/mimelnk/audio/x-soundfont.desktop
/lib/modules/2.6.12-0.21.rdt.rhfc4.ccrma/build/include/sound/soundfont.h

Any recommendation for downloading general soundfont files for my sound 
card:
