Problem description

Currently the only way of adding text to FreeCAD is StringShape which doesn't play nicely with parametric design (e.g. font cannot be specified as function, neither can size as far as I can tell) and it's painful to use with Part Design.

It would be good if user could just type string inside sketcher and extrude it if they use Part Design workflow.
