FON is a font file format native to Windows 3.0, and supported by all later versions of Windows, primarily for compatibility reasons.

It supports both bitmapped and stroked fonts, but aside from the stroked fonts included with Windows (Modern, Roman, and Script), it is used almost exclusively for bitmapped fonts. It is sometimes called Windows bitmapped font format.

It uses NE (New Executable) format as a container format. Allegedly, it can also use PE format.

Its successor is TrueType.
