Font X has a cross-reference to Fonts which does contain the
documentation you are looking for. I presume Chong's fix was to link
directly there.
But before specifying the formats, it says "on X...". Windows accepts
the first three formats listed, but I am not sure about the NS port. If
that accepts those formats too, then the "on X..." should be removed.
