+A soundfont to be used with DLS compatible MIDI devices, including the
+fmodapi package from slackbuilds.org.
+
+This is a General MIDI soundfont designed to sound like the PlayStation,
+specifically the game "Final Fantasy 8". It sounds pretty good with Doom
+source ports, too (zdoom, gzdoom, and skulltag support FMOD).
+
+To use with zdoom, gzdoom, or skulltag, set the MIDI device
+to FMOD from the in-game Options menu, and set the variable
+snd_midipatchset=/usr/share/sounds/dls/ff8.dls in the game console or
+the config file.
