Munt (or a real MT-32 or equivalent) is absolutely the way to go with MT-32 games. The MT-32 allows all the instruments to be manipulated or completely changed so each game sounds different. If you use pre-recorded sound fonts, it will not sound right with MT-32 games. General MIDI is basically always the same, so you can use sound fonts for Sound Canvas games. I prefer using a real SC-55 MK2 over soundfonts however. There are a lot of manipulations that can happen with the pre-recorded sounds, and I am not sure the soundfonts will sound right with whatever Fluidsynth is doing with the extra GS data, etc.
