Under LMMS Linux I can only handle SF2 soundfonts, while a number of free soundfonts come in either GIG or SFZ format. I'd need to convert those two into SF2 format. How to?

You can use SFZ in Linux: https://www.linuxsampler.org/sfz/ SFZ is superior to SF2 if I understand correctly. – endolith Jan 26 '16 at 02:07

LMMS doesn't support linuxsampler yet. – EnzoR Jan 28 '16 at 11:39

Polyphone is cross-platform and will open sf2, sf3, sfz, and sfArk, and will save to sf2 or export to sfz or sf3. It's sf2-centric, though, so it doesn't support some features like sfz's round-robin.
Plogue sforzando is Windows (WINE?) or OS X, and will convert sfz to sf2, though the conversion did not work well for one thing I tested. Polyphone did a better job.

1Polyphone's conversion to SF2 can fail (volume of hammer sounds too loud from a piano , etc.), and neither software supports GIG. – bryc Oct 06 '20 at 15:28
