Surprised/confused, am I to infer that "sound fonts" are no longer specific

Audacity does not have a MIDI synthesizer. If you have either a software
MIDI synth, or a hardware synth connected to the computer via MIDI, then
you can configure Audacity to use the synth in "Preferences > MIDI
Devices".
Windows includes a MIDI synth by default which is accessed via the "MIDI
Mapper" option.
Mac and Linux do not provide a MIDI synth by default, so you will need to
provide one if you wish to use MIDI playback.
Audacity's MIDI capabilities are only very basic. Simple Cut / Copy / Paste
editing is supported, as is MIDI playback, and that's about all.

So Andrew: Would Audacity use sound font files to play MIDI? Does
Audacity
also need instrument definition to know what instruments to play, general
MIDI, etc?

Hi Richard
Audacity can now play pre-recorded midi files.

Since Audacity can't play vst, what is the purpose of the midi
section in
preferences? Thanks for clarification.

play VST instruments

Hi Michael
I put any effect files into
C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Roaming\audacity\Plug-Ins (replace Andrew with your
username). I do not have any vst files in Audacity, but assume they would
also go there. Remember to go to the Effects Menu and enable the new
files.
