In reply to this, one of the BEST sites for Soundfonts is www.thesoundsite.net. I also have a bit of info on my site about them. :)

These you install to your soundblaster using the soundfont utility. If you want to cut and paste different patches from different soundfonts, you need to use Vienna, which is a soundfont editor utility which should have come with your soundblaster. I believe you can load different soundfonts with each other, so that you can load a single violin soundfont into a particular patch number or bank and then access it from the instrument list in Finale just as you would the voices in the GM setup, only you would need to use the appropriate bank change commands as well. I don't know of a great step-by-step guide, but perhaps if you simply do a search for soundfont you might find one. I've learned what little I know by trial and error. Good luck!
