Producers, agents, directors, actors, production companies, etc. read
many scripts throughout their careers in the film business. The screenwriter’s
attitude should be to make reading their scripts as easy as possible. Actually,
they should strive to make their screenplays lightning fast to read. That means
more white on each page than black. This means that the font should be
unobtrusive, clear and 12 pt. There has been speculation for years about
using the New Courier font in lieu of the Courier font. Each experience I have
had, Courier always wins out because of its size and clarity, bar none. I’ve
been using it for 30 years without any complaints.
