'''SNF''' ('''Server Normal Format''') was a bitmap font format used by the [[X Window System]]. It is more or less a binary version of [[BDF]], and was a non-portable predecessor to [[PCF]]. The SNF format was introduced in [http://www.x.org/wiki/X11R1/ X11R1], and deprecated in [http://www.x.org/wiki/X11R5/ X11R5] in 1991 with the [http://www.x.org/wiki/X11R5/ introduction of PCF fonts]. The release of [http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2014-July/002460.html libXfont 1.5.0] in 2014 disabled building snf support by default, though left the code able to be enabled at compile time.
