When a user installs,their first Soundfont, it duly appears in the Media
Preferences MIDI page, but as it is the only one there it isn't clear that
it needs to be clicked on to enable it. From experience this confuses
people.
A simple fix is to add text to the Preferences page: "Click on the
Soundfont you wish to use to enable it", or some such.
Possibly even better would be to have a Soundfont automatically selected
when it is installed, so the latest loaded becomes the system one by
default. I ''think'' this would be expected behaviour by most people, but
I'd accept corrections...
A compromise woud be to have it selected only if none were already, but
this might lead to other wrong expectations, I suppose.
