FormattedString is your best friend here, as you can add a glyph name to the string and get the glyph with the appendGlyph method.

so for your code:

newPage('A4Landscape')
font('SFMono-Regular')
fontSize(60)
txt = listFontGlyphNames()
t = FormattedString()
t.appendGlyph(txt[60])
text(t, (30, 30))

I think it'll be a bit interesting to use, as Chiplotle is py2, and drawbot is py3, but it seems from the sample scripts that it can work. I've not tested, though I have a pen plotter sitting waiting to be used....

Don't forget that there is also this: https://github.com/jenskutilek/DrawBotPlotter

Testing that line in drawbot, it works. It seems your doing it with imported drawbot. Wonder if it might work with textBox rather than text?

This came up in a class today, and thanks to Just van Rossum, we were able to solve it.

We all love being able to pick from the colorwell variable, but sometimes you need to know the RGBA value of the picked color, but the color you get from a colorwell is a NSColor object.

This will give you the RGBA of that color

Variable([
    dict(name="color", ui="ColorWell")
    ], globals())

color = color.colorUsingColorSpaceName_("NSCalibratedRGBColorSpace")
r,g,b,a = color.redComponent(), color.greenComponent(), color.blueComponent(), color.alphaComponent()

print(r,g,b,a)

(now in a year I'll be able to find the answer again!)
