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.
