Urs,
I'm thinking you mean here "Frescobaldi on Linux" right (since you also say
fluidsynth)?
I don't "mean" that but it seems that's what I'm talking about.
However, although I don't know much about these things resources like
https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/wiki/BuildingWithCMake seem to
indicate that it *is* possible to have fluidsynth as a real Windows application.
While "possible" it is not end-user friendly. Creating the compile
environments (four possibilities!) will inhibit most users who are
unfamiliar with such things. Even though I am familiar with such things,
I'd opt, as I actually did, and pay for a very usable product like
VirtualMidiSynth which includes midi-2-mp3/wav capability.
I use
Frescobaldi primarily on Windows. And though one can use Cygwin, etc. to
install an app like
timidity, Frescobaldi does not "see" it.
OK, then the general question seems to be: are there command line tools that
can be used to convert MIDI to audio on Windows in a way that Frescobaldi can
use?
Now that is a different question. I think the best option is VLC (if
only because it's under current development and thus is not moribund as
so much open source software is.

"FluidSynth MIDI synthesizer (fluidsynth)"
VLC will play midi files.
FFmpeg audio/video decoder (avcodec)
Various audio and video decoders/encoders delivered by the FFmpeg
library. This includes (MS)MPEG4, DivX, SV1,H261, H263, H264, WMV, WMA,
AAC, AMR, DV, MJPEG and other codecs
File audio output (afile)
--audiofile-wav, --no-audiofile-wav
Add WAVE header
(default enabled)
Instead of writing a raw file, you can add a WAV header to
the file.
So, it looks like VLC with the right syntax may be able to use
FluidSynth/soundfont to "play" midi and FFMpeg to encode to AAC or other
codecs - or - output WAV file as input to lame
It's a complicated commandline but I've seen (and created) worse LOL
