To use timidity with a soundfont create a small and simple cfg file with
a text editor, let's call it "soundfont.cfg", containing one simple
line that looks a bit like this:
soundfont /PATH/TO/SOUNDFONT.sf2
After that on the commandline (or in a script) you can do something like
timidity -c soundfont.cfg -Ow -o outfile.wav infile.mid
Hope that helps,
if not try
man 1 timidity
man 5 timidity.cfg
(At least that is what helped me on Fedora)
