I don't blame you. I've never liked it. It is, however, usually supported on most e-readers, I think, or at least, if it isn't, a monospaced font is. I was trying to think of something easier or less brain-damaging than embedding the font.

@dgatwood -- I will give Deja Vu a try. But I must say, I am starting to lean more and more to just using the body font, and let it go at that. Readability trumps authenticity, in my mind.

Indeed.

I have struck 4 or 5 of these parodies so far, and they are all laid out differently, and only one of them looks anything like an actual screenplay. So still, my major task is finding a better way to format complete paragraphs of dialog. If I am not going to try to be "authentic," the borders might be a fairly good way to go. I don't like the look of small-caps or all-caps, so it's good that they aren't "authentic."
I am getting incoherent, it is time to go home and sleep.

I think all that matters,
really, is conveying the
idea of the layout or format, and readability, FWIW.
