The procedure is identical for adding X fonts for both A/UX and Mac OS to the MacX Font Director list. The Font Director is built in MacX, which can be invoked by selecting "Fonts..." from the Edit menu. The Font Director lets you view, add, and remove existing Macintosh fonts to and from the font directory list. It also compiles fonts from the BDF (Bitmap Distribution Format) files.
To add "X fonts" into the MacX Font Directory list, the X font must be converted into a BDF file, so that it can be compiled by the Font Director and added into the font directory list.
The public domain software called "snftobdf" converts a SNF font file into a BDF font file.
