are fonts shareable between different architectures?
Which format(s) of fonts are shareable -- bdf, snf, pk, ... ?

If anybody has a good reference on different font formats, and 
issues of sharing fonts, and access from servers, etc.  that would
be really nice to know.

I am a little unclear on the basics of fonts.
