Re: Feature Request: Default Font path + Sketch text
I suggest adding the relevant draft commands to a global toolbar, that way you don't need to switch workbenches back and forth all the time. It's a good suggestion, but not actually what I'm after. I'm not looking for a more convenient way to use shapes, I'm looking for a more convenient way to put...

Re: Feature Request: Default Font path + Sketch text
The process of making a shapestring is relying on some assumptions, one of them that not always is satisfied is that the font is "sane". I would assume that in trying out a font and realizing that it doesn't work for your purpose, you would then try a different font. This lead to the last...

Re: Part Workbench - Cubic
Or have a new cube, called Centered Cube (ccube?) Use the one that is appropriate. If it's a drop down (like arc in the sketch) then it won't make the UI more cluttered.
I've gotten messed up with the cube not being centered as well. Other times, it's what I'm needing.

Re: Feature Request: Default Font path + Sketch text
2. The code to take some text and map out a sketch using the fonts probably isn't that hard. ShapeString uses Part.makeWireString to turn the contours in the ttf file into edges and wires. The FreeType library already knows how to parse ttf (and otf) files. That's useful. My suggestion is born out ...

Re: Feature Request: Default Font path + Sketch text
Two parts to this feature request: 1. When adding text using the Shape tool in draft, you always have to put the path to the fonts in. I believe this would be better if the default path could be saved in the Preferences, under General. Or where it already is: Edit>Preferences, Draft, Texts and Dime...

Re: Current best practices to solve the 'pivy' problem?
Does this fix the Show.ShowUtils.is3DObject error: module 'pivy._coin' has no attribute 'delete_SoGeo' problems I've been having? I was unsure of what to use from the github repository, so I took your patchs, and created a patch.txt (vague memory of using this 2 decades ago). something like patch <p...

Re: Thickness regression
I've found this as well.
There is a bug reported for it. https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/6196
This is pretty major so hopefully addressed soon.

Re: Is Draft workbench having problems?
No, I'm building it myself. So this would be a recent change.
I'll probably run git bisect to figure out who to blame, I was just wondering if anyone else saw it before I get busy.
