What fonts can I change into? I tried Comic Sans, which should be fixed width but even that got rejected because it 'wasnt fixed width." 

Would love to change to a different font, because for me, its hard to get into the mood to write with Courier. Even though in the final draft I'll probably change it back.

Thanks!

Comic sans is not fixed width, not sure why you think it is?

You can change into any fixed width font your system has.

On trelby site, under the downloads, you can get the Courier 10 BT
font, which is thicker than the default windows Courier, and looks
much better when printed.

On windows you can change to any other monospace font, like fixedsys,
etc. But courier is the standard for screenplays, so you should just
grab the font from the site. Just google for monospace free fonts, and
you should get a good list of options.

A quick google search led me to find the Final Draft Courier font.  Once installed, I applied to my display and PDF output.  Worked like champ!

I'm running Trelby on Ubuntu and tried to change the font to Final Draft or Courier Prime but it would not accept them as fixed width, even though they certainly are.
