A specification of the name of one or more files. May contain wildcards.
file store
A persistent store which is file based.
file switch
When an application closes its current file and opens another specified file in response to a message from the shell.

folder name selector
A type of choice list that allows a folder name to be selected from those existing below a specified root folder.
font
A collection of characters of a particular height (measured in points, or in other device-dependent units).
Font Source file

footer
Text repeated at the bottom of every printed page.
forced line break
Forces a new line without beginning a new paragraph.
foreground
A window is in the foreground if its z position is closest. An application is loosely said to be in the foreground if it has keyboard focus.
FORM
The Symbian OS component that relates to Text Views.
format attribute
Describes the appearance of text. Divided into paragraph and character format attributes. Stored in format layers.
format layer
Specifies the attributes of a region that differ from surrounding regions. A region of text is formatted according to the attributes in its effective format. This is built up from format layers. A global text object has a single paragraph format layer, and a single character format layer, specifying the formatting of the entire text object. A rich text object's format layers may refer to regions smaller than the entire text object.
format mode
Whether text layout is to include wrap to device or printer width and whether device or printer fonts are to be used for layout.
formatted band
The part of a document enclosed within the view rectangle. Additionally, any part of a paragraph that extends above the top of the view rectangle is also within the formatted band.
framework
A component that allows its functionality to be extended by writing plug-in modules ("framework extensions"
.
The extension developer writes classes that derive from interfaces
defined by the framework. The framework loads the required extensions
during run-time. Symbian OS uses frameworks extensively, including
UIKON, ESOCK, and ETel.
framework extension
A component that provides some plug-in functionality to a pre-defined framework. In Symbian OS, a framework extension is implemented as a polymorphic DLL.
freeze
A process of fixing the association between name and ordinal, for function exported from a DLL.
freeze file
A colloquial reference to a def file; so called because it freezes the association between name and ordinal, for exported functions.
Front End Processor
A piece of software present on a target phone that allows the user to enter handwriting and for it to be converted transparently into text input.
FSC
Font format: Font Source file
FTT
Failure To Train. A fax modem's digital response rejecting the training signal and requesting a retraining.
full name
The concatenation of the name of a subsession object and the full name of its owner subsession object, if any.
full ordinal position
A window's ordinal position, taking into account windows of other priorities. (Ordinal position is normally specified relative to windows of the same priority.) Usually applies only to window groups.
