FON
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
FON is a font file format native to Microsoft Windows. It began to be marginalized as of Windows 3.1, with the introduction of TrueType, though it continues to be supported.
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.
