+not yet apply for S60 and MOAP. </p><p>The style (plain, bold, shadowed etc.)
+and colour of text in a control typically depends upon the state or properties
+of its parent control. Prior to Symbian OS 9.1 a control was able to use the <codeph>MCoeControlContext</codeph> interface
+to share properties. That interface is now deprecated. Text is now drawn using
+a Text Drawer. The Text Drawer takes the text itself as a parameter along
+with the font, graphics context and text location rectangle. </p><p>The text
+drawer is provided by the run-time hierarchy. Each control in the hierarchy,
+from the topmost downwards, has the option of modifying or replacing the text
+drawer. </p><p>Text drawers are derived from <xref href="GUID-C8C7B785-B3CF-3488-AEB1-BE0A70F6C1F2.dita"><apiname>CCoeTextDrawerBase</apiname></xref> (a
+default <xref href="GUID-4941BB90-573F-3582-AD7D-0769E463ECC6.dita"><apiname>CCoePlainTextDrawer</apiname></xref> is provided by Cone) and require
+special use to avoid multiple allocations on the heap. Instead of being allocated
+directly text drawers must be used through the <xref href="GUID-2280260C-3A4F-3C1E-ADF2-3219ED7FE0DE.dita"><apiname>XCoeTextDrawer</apiname></xref> class
+which acts as a smart-pointer to a single <xref href="GUID-C8C7B785-B3CF-3488-AEB1-BE0A70F6C1F2.dita"><apiname>CCoeTextDrawerBase</apiname></xref> derived
+class on the heap. The smart-pointer deletes or resets the text drawer on
+the heap if necessary and provides fail-safe measures to ensure that a valid
+text drawer is returned. </p><p>A control that draws text calls its <codeph>TextDrawer()</codeph> function
+to retrieve the appropriate text drawer from the run-time hierarchy </p><codeblock id="GUID-42C036D2-539B-51CF-94DD-594612EE7B60-GENID-1-8-1-6-1-1-4-1-6-1-7-1-10-1-2-1-7" xml:space="preserve">XCoeTextDrawer textDrawer( TextDrawer() );

+for delivering the correct font at run-time. The mechanism consists of a Font
+Provider (<xref href="GUID-372CDE49-2148-3A21-8EA3-8D4656548C23.dita"><apiname>CCoeFontProvider</apiname></xref>) and a <xref href="GUID-463C1928-878D-3B06-ABFD-178BE1BAD776.dita"><apiname>TCoeFont</apiname></xref> class,
+which represents a font's size (logical or absolute in pixels) and style (plain,
+bold, italic, subscript or superscript). Along similar lines to the Text Drawer,
+the Font Provider is attached to a parent control and serves controls further
+down the run-time hierarchy. </p><p> <xref href="GUID-12A9389D-363B-3F54-857F-89EE0EDCDF40.dita"><apiname>CCoeEnv</apiname></xref> includes a

+a <codeph>ScreenFont()         </codeph> method which encapsulates the font

+Moreover, instances of these calls should be removed from old code and replaced
