Code sample taken from page 89 of the Beginning ScriptUI guide by Peter Kahrel (255r 0g 0b):

// Font and colours for the second item, edittext
e.graphics.font = ScriptUI.newFont ("Letter Gothic Std", "Bold", 30);
e.graphics.foregroundColor = e.graphics.newPen (e.graphics.PenType.SOLID_COLOR, [1, 0, 0], 1);

Another example in this Bridge script from Paul Riggott:

I recall a book on Indesign Scripting by Peter Kahrel which was pretty great for me. 

Did he publish more general or even Photoshop-realted material, too?

Not that I am aware of, the guide that I was referring to was his general PDF that used many InDesign examples, however most of the guide was generally applicable to other apps.
