+bpo-30993: IDLE - Improve configdialog font page and tests.
+*In configdialog: Document causal pathways in create_font_tab
+docstring.  Simplify some attribute names. Move set_samples calls to
+var_changed_font (idea from Cheryl Sabella).  Move related functions to
+positions after the create widgets function.
+* In test_configdialog: Fix test_font_set so not order dependent.  Fix
+renamed test_indent_scale so it tests the widget.  Adjust tests for
+movement of set_samples call.  Add tests for load functions.  Put all
+font tests in one class and tab indent tests in another.  Except for
+two lines, these tests completely cover the related functions.
