Export and Reports

Fount provides a comprehensive export system for getting your screenplay out of the terminal and into the hands of producers, actors, and crew.

Opening the Export Modal

Press Ctrl+E or type /export to open the Export Modal.

The modal is divided into two tabs: 1. Screenplay and 2. Reports. You can switch between them using Left/Right arrows or the number keys 1 and 2.

1. Screenplay Tab

Contains formatting options for your script. Navigate with Up/Down and toggle/cycle with Enter/Space:

| Export Format | Cycle between PDF and Fountain | | Paper Size | Toggle between A4 and Letter (PDF only) | | Document Font | Toggle between Courier Prime and Courier Prime Sans (PDF only) | | Bold Headings | Toggle bold scene headings (PDF only) | | Scene Numbers | Toggle scene numbers on margins (Export Only or Off) (PDF only) | | Include Sections | Toggle structural sections (PDF and Fountain) | | Include Synopses | Toggle synopses (PDF and Fountain) | | Include Production Tags | Toggle production breakdown tags (Fountain only) | | Title Page | Toggle inclusion of the title page (PDF and Fountain) | | [ EXPORT SCREENPLAY ] | Save the screenplay via file picker |

Tip

Setting the Document Font to Courier Prime Sans will render the entire document (including Sections and Synopses) in the Sans-serif variant for a modern look.

2. Reports Tab

Contains analytical exports for production planning:

Option	Description
Report Type	Cycle between available reports (Scene List, Character Report, etc.)
[ EXPORT ]	Save the report via file picker

Press Esc to close the modal.
