'''Server Normal Format''' ('''SNF''') is a [[bitmap font]] format used by [[X Window]]. It is one of the oldest X Window font formats. Nowadays it is rarely used, however it is still supported by the latest [[X.Org Server|X.org]] server. SNF fonts had the problem of being platform dependent, therefore they needed to be compiled on each system. In 1991, [[X Window System|X11]] moved away from SNF fonts to [[Portable Compiled Format]], which could be shared between systems.<ref name="Fonts">{{cite book|author1=Yannis Haralambous|author2=P.
