* To help novice users supply an actual font file from the OS as the default for ShapeStringFontFile. * The Draft code blocked the use of TTC font files. `Part.makeWireString()` can however handle them (although only the first font in the file can be used). Additonally: In a previous PR the bottom spacer was removed from the task panel. This PR brings it back as it is required in some cases. Without it the "..." button of the file selector can become huge.

These files provide auxiliary functions used by the Draft workbench.
Previously most of these functions were defined in Draft.py,
DraftTools.py, and DraftGui.py. However, due to being defined in these
big modules, it was impossible to use them individually without importing
the entire modules. So a decision was made to split the functions
into smaller modules.
In here we want modules with generic functions that can be used everywhere in the workbench. We want these tools to depend only on standard Python modules and basic FreeCAD methods so that there are no circular dependencies, and so that they can be used by all functions and graphical commands in this workbench, and others if possible.
utils: basic functionsmessages: used to print messagestranslate: used to translate textsinit_tools: used to initialize the workbench (toolbars and menus)todo: used to delay execution of certain graphical commands
Some auxiliary functions require that the graphical interface is loaded as they deal with scripted objects' view providers or the 3D view.
gui_utils: basic functions dealing with the graphical interfaceinit_draft_statusbar: functions to initialize the status bar
