[Python] Integrating a text input to blender

I am implementing an .bpy for an input module to blender using pycharm and am running into an issue with the .bpy not installing properly. I'll be bashing this for a bit, but wanted to start a thread involving font requirements in the system transposer while using a custom font install.

There is an issue with they .bpy not initiating and I will post my updates in my progress.

Used Junie to construct the passthrough for the base interface to input 2 lines of text.
Utilized a custom font installed in a general location.
Import text from UI to a base layer as objects converted to meshes.
Create: Curve a ( 0, 0)
Curve: Align text to curve.
Text_1: Set rotation to X90
Text_2: Set Rotation to x90

Junie script compiled for module || output in blender compiler
