MovieScripter Docs Fountain to PDF

A free movie screenwriting extension for any chromium-based browser that reads a screenplay written in Fountain mark-down from Google Docs and converts it to a formatted screenplay PDF that can be saved to disk. The extension does not need Google account access and only requires that the Fountain text is open in Google Docs. The default Courier Prime font files are included inside the extension so this font does not need to be installed on the system beforehand. This default can be changed to any left-to-right TTF font installed in the underlying operating system. The extension is self-contained and does not use a backend server. All processing is performed locally in the browser, assuring privacy for all screenplay data. Hovering over the interface options will present tooltips which explain what the options do. Side-by-side dual dialogue formatting is supported. Notes on loading custom fonts: Courier Prime is the default PDF font and this will be embedded into generated PDFs. However, this cannot render non-Latin alphabets such as Devanagari, Greek, Chinese or Japanese in a PDF reader so a custom font must be selected for this by clicking the 'Custom font' button and then choosing one of the system fonts from the drop-down box before pressing the button to generate the PDF. After pressing the custom font button for the first time, a new tab will open for giving the browser access permission to the system fonts but this only needs to be done once. Removing font access permission can be done by opening the page: 'chrome://settings/content/localFonts' The 'Clear font' button will always return the PDF font to the default of Courier Prime. Note that any font chosen from the system font list must be stored on the system in TTF format. The OTF and TTC formats will terminate PDF generation with an error message. when upgraded from version 1.2 to a higher version, any custom font that was set in the older version must be selected again from the list of installed system fonts. 1.4 is a patch release.
