:-) You cannot use *.fon with XFree86.  I do remember seeing a utility somewhere
:-) On the Internet which claims to convert *.fon from win32 to *.pcf files.
:-) I never tried it and I do not have URL for it.  If you can convert them to
:-) *.pcf, then gzip it... Then copy to a
:-) /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/subdirectory-of-your-choice
:-) And run mkfontdir to create aliases files, you should be fine.
