  Additional Closure Information:
  Incident Diagnosis:
  CADAM drafting software handles font differently as compare
  to CATIA.
  Technical Explanation:
  In given case user has added some special characters to the
  Unicode ???private use area??? and has defined strokes for these
  
  characters. Of course, the receiving system must have these
  characters defined, or else the character will not display.
  In the given scenario some private characters added to the
  .FONT file (Stoke font file) and those characters are used in
  side the given CDD.
  In CATIA support to the private characters in the .FONT file
  is not yet provided.
  CATIA provide support to display private characters in True
  Type Font file only (known as TTE- True Type Extension.)
  Development Request Justification:
  Separate development is required for Stoke font files to
  handle private characters.
  By-Pass:
  Convert the given .FONT file into .TTF file. And add private
  characters to .TTF file.
  Private characters can be created using utility Private
  Character Editor (Start->Run-> Eudcedit) provided by windows
  operating system.
