I posted this previously. Having a specification where an application

In latest git head, there is a "synth.default-soundfont" option.
The fluidsynth executable uses it if you have not specified a midi
file but not a soundfont on the command line.
I am using fluidsynth as a library in a gstreamer plugin. Therefore it's
me who has to configure the synthfont to use. If we don't want to do
such a specification (of a sf2 path), this could also be inmplemented in
fluidsynth as a utility function. That spares apps to re-implement this.
