This question is related to the idea of embossing text uniformly on a curved surface without a mega-workaround (i.e. creating a bunch of tangent planes and extruding/cutting the text into the object). This exact funcitonality is available from an add-in (I originally found at http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/ideastation-request-a-feature-or/emboss-feature/idi-p/5786374) posted by Xiaodong Liang.
After installing the add-in I got several errors that appear to be caused by some issue with the script, possibly features that were unfinished when the source code was posted.
I've have several screen shots showing the error as it occurs in Fusion as well as the segment of code that seems to be the issue.
In Fusion:
In the code:

I read (in the request-a-feature link above) that the font needs to be entered manually for OS, so I'm confused as to why the dropdown feature is there at all. If possible I would settle for a defualt font within the program, I won't need to change it very often. I'm fairly certain that I installed it correctly and have not made any adjustments from the original file. At this point I have no idea why it's not working.
I apologize if I'm missing something major or just made a foolish mistake -- I also realize it's difficult to debug someone else's code, but any help is appreciated. I'm fairly new to Fusion (and Python) but I have programming experience. I think this is a really awesome and essential feature that a lot of people are looking for, and I feel like it's really close to working.
I'm using OSX 10.10.5, Fusion 2.0.2016, Python 3.5.0.
Thanks in advance!
