The text properties to change tracking work with Glyph3 but not with Glyph2. (Glyph 2.6.7)

script :

size(1000, 350)
tracking(100)
fontSize(100)
text("hello", (100, 200))

Error message :

Traceback (most recent call last):

Fixed it.

There is also a problem with "Formatted Stings" with DrawBot in Glyph 2.

code :

textBox(
    FormattedString(
        txt='Test', 
        fontSize=50, 
        tracking=100, 
        font='Helvetica'
    ), 
    (10, 300, 400, 400)
)

You have to put an u before 'Test' like this: txt=u'Test'
