Overview
FON files are Windows bitmap font files containing raster (pixel-based) glyphs at fixed sizes. These were used for system fonts and screen display in older versions of Windows before scalable fonts became standard.
FON fonts cannot scale smoothly like outline fonts, limiting their usefulness today. They're primarily encountered when working with legacy Windows systems or retro computing projects.
