Does anyone know whether F3 format scalable outline fon are
available for the Iris to be used by X applications?  

X-provided fonts are pre-sized bitmaps - Sun offers F3 outline 
fonts which can be used by NeWS and X11, and as 4sight also runs
NeWS it should be possible to display outline fonts, scaled to the
requested size within NeWS, in an X application.

Sorry for the long sentence, but any info would be appreciated.
