I haven't got that soundfont, so I can't compare here. Certainly with
the soundfonts I do have, Fluidsynth produces a long level string
tone when I play a long note. The fonts I'm using probably just
contain fairly straightforward sample loops.
You could always just try another soundfont, although one supplied
with a card is probably more likely to be consistent and well
balanced. Still, the one I use most (Musica Theory 2) has pretty
adequate solo strings. I think I got it from Hammersound.
