F3, as well as Speedo, were the first generation of scalable fonts for
X (F3 required a special version of the X server, called "X/NeWS"), in
contrast with PCF/SNF/BDF/whatever which are bitmapped. Both (Speedo
and F3) are now obsolete, but still supported for backward
compatibility.
The second generation, of course, is Type1, which is supported in two
formats (PFA and PFB). The third generation, bundled with most of the
latest UNIXes (and Linuxes), is TTF (TrueType Format).
