The font which is used for all text elements can be setup. Any common (vector) font file format is supported (TrueType fonts, Type 1 fonts, CFF fonts, OpenType fonts, ...). If no font is selected one of the internal fonts is used. The setup font is also used for the conversation of text elements to polygons. Most font contain bezier curves. Most EDA programs like the LayoutEditor don't have elementary bezier curves. So any bezier curve is converted into a polyline. How precise this conversion is done can be setup via the iterations value. A higher value will result in a finer resolution and a higher number of point. A Iteration of 0 will directly connect start and end point without a conversion.
