Why does my music not have the right Soundfont?
When I upload my music to Musescore for peeps to hear and stuff, BOOM! My the instruments are all different and sound like the default Soundfont.
How do I make it so the scores I upload to Musescore have a different Soundfont?

MuseScore.com use the default Fluid soundfont. See https://musescore.com/help/upload#26092

Aww—dang—but...this topic was being discussed 5 years ago and nothing came out of it? How do we get Musescore to support different Soundfonts?

Within the very near future (it might even already be there) you'll have the option to use another media source for playback (such as a self-exported mp3 of your audio).

For a couple of days, you can add a different audio source. Check your score page on the right, "Manage audio sources". For the moment, it only supports Youtube videos. However you can create a youtube video featuring your score and a custom audio file with "Send to youtube" in the same menu. If you select this option, it will ask your for an audio file and also if you want to have the created video as a new audio source automatically. This is all in development, so feedback is welcome here https://musescore.com/contact

in the top right corner to see the various audio sources, one of which (the default) is an automatically generated YouTube video using a different SoundFont. However, I think this option may only be available with a Pro account.

Ah, I see. It seems it's still a bit unstable, not unlike an egg on an old ladder. Hopefully, we'll be able to switch the Soundfont soon. I think I burned my finger cooking. It does not feel great.

You will never be able to switch the soundfont.
Why?
Because MuseScore.com has absolutely no idea which soundfont you will be using, nor does it have the disk space or bandwidth to cater for the umpteen million possibilities!
