 Vector graphic formats, on the other hand, store graphic elements as unique, mathematically described graphic primitives. The latter mean basic geometric elements such as straight lines, arcs, and splines, as well as surfaces such as circles, polygons, and spline surfaces. Texts are stored either as polylines or with the help of character encoding (see also →[[en:​infra-convert:​user:​terms#​font|Font]]). Vector graphic formats, on the other hand, store graphic elements as unique, mathematically described graphic primitives.

-In addition to the purely visual representation of characters, the unambiguous definition of characters is important for the automatic analysis of technical drawings. PDF files are generally used to displaying characters correctly. This is because the character definitions used are saved in the file. This is (unfortunately) different with the CAD exchange formats DXF, DWG and IGES. In them only the references to characters are stored in font files. The font files are therefore required for correct display.+In addition to the purely visual representation of characters, the unambiguous definition of characters is important for the automatic analysis of technical drawings.

Supplying these fonts would disproportionately increase the cost of #@IC_HTML@# licenses. For this reason, #@IC_HTML@# replaces fonts not installed on the computer with visually similar fonts when loading drawing files.
