Vector fonts and vector graphics are two different things. Fonts define an outline. You can programmatically displace points on that outline but you are still limited in the types of outputs you can define due to this restriction and to the overall number of points per glyph the font system allows.
They're pretty far from "infinite resolution" and the errors between screen space and font space are not particularly large and are probably not best understood through signal processing metaphors, was my point.
