Fonts again
Hey All,
Thanks in advance for any advice. I used to write on a Mac with Final Draft (an older version, don't know which). All the printed pages were thick and pretty. Rounded edges, full-circles in the commas instead of the truncated tops. I have no recollection which font it was. I think plain ol' courier. Now, I write on a pc, with FD 5, have tried courier, courier new, courier final draft, dark courier, and none of them are the same kind of pretty. All look skinny like a starved old lady. I just read Comicbent's awesome article on fonts, and the closest thing to the old pretty font on his PDF is, "Old Courier", (albeit a little lighter) which I can't find for download. I downloaded courier 10, not bad, and the new fonts from FD 6, but I'd love to have that old, nice font again. Any suggestions? Thank you!! |

...Perhaps one day, Rich....
...Perhaps. (I can only learn one or two programs per year and I'm working on Frameforge now. Plus, I like Final Draft. And I'm cheap. ) |

Re: Fonts again
It's okay to have more than one screenwriting program. They are not complicated to use.
