/**
 * This font field editor implements chaining between the workbench's preference
 * store and a given target preference store. Any time the workbench's preference
 * for the text font changes, the change is propagated to the target store.
 * Propagation means that the actual text font stored in the workbench store is set as
 * default text font in the target store. If the target store does not contain a value
 * rather than the default text font, the new default text font is immediately effective.
 *
 * @see org.eclipse.jface.preference.FontFieldEditor
 * @deprecated since 3.0 not longer in use, no longer supported, use a
 *             <code>ChainedPreferenceStore</code> to access preferences from the
 *             <code>org.eclipse.ui.editors</code> plug-in.
