Font and Bitmap
Server Collection
The Font and Bitmap Server collection contains only one component—the
Font and Bitmap Server. As its name suggests, the Font and Bitmap Server manages
fonts and bitmaps.
The CBR package name for the Font and Bitmap Server component is graphics_fbserv.
- The Font and Bitmap Server Overview
The Font and Bitmap Server (FBServ) provides a memory efficient
way of using bitmaps and fonts. It stores a single instance of each
bitmap in either a shared heap or in eXecute In Place (XIP) ROM and
provides clients with read and (when appropriate) write access.

Locking in the Font and Bitmap Server
The Font and Bitmap Server's heap locking API is deprecated in
Symbian OS v9.3 and later versions. This topic explains the rationale for
this and how it affects existing applications that use the CFBsBitmap::LockHeap(), CFBsBitmap::LockHeapLC() and CFbsBitmap::UnlockHeap() functions.
