Best SoundFont for ALL orchestral instruments.
I am using the Fluid sound font and yes it is good but the bass drum really sucks. So is there any sound font or anything I can do to get ALL instruments to sound good?

Are you using a nightly build? If so, there is a bug in one of the libraries MuseScore uses that causes distortion in some notes in so e soundfonts; perhaps this is what you are noticing? Switching to the standard SF2 version of the spundfont instead of the SF3 version included with the builds works around this.
If you are not using a nightly build, then there are other bugs, or perhaps more accurately "deficiencies" that also cause percussion sounds to be distorted, and this might be what you are hearing.
Anyhow, if you do a search, you'll find tons of soundfonts available. I haven't found one I like better overall than Fluid - at least none that cover the full GM range. But if you literally only need orchestral instruments - thus no guitars, saxophones, drumset, etc - there might be a couple that you may prefer. But most likely, you'll find it an endless process of finding some instruments you prefer in one soundfont, others you prefer in another, and no one single soundfont that beats all others in all instruments in all contexts.
