    I'm highly interested in all possible storage/transportation
    standards concerning the following:

        1) Representing 3D graphics and storing them

           Every CAD program has a file format all of its own.
           Is there really nothing like the IFF and GIF in the 2D world?

        2) The same for 2D graphics (GIF, IFF etc.)

           Standard descriptions for both bitmapped and vectorized
           types of 2D graphics. I already have GIF, IFF and TIFF.

        3) Vectorized (=Bezier curved) font standards

           PostScript I know. Does anyone have AGFA Compugraphic Fonts'
           specifications? Others welcomed as well.


           Thanks for your support. The reason I'm asking this lot is
           designing a graphical BBS software. I let you hear of it
           when it's ready for it...
