A great boon to the screenwriter

I use Highland as a text editor for Fountain files, and for exporting those files as formatted script PDFs. Fountain is a tremendous move forward in the screenwriting process, but its a separate concept from Highland, so thats all Ill say about it.

Highland does the job. The text editor interface is big, bold, and clear, and Quote-Unquote Apps has made the exporting process quite easy.

I cant comment on the "melting" of PDFs, one of Highlands key features, I havent used it yet, same with the export-to-FDX function.

One final note of praise: Highland uses Courier Prime for its PDFs, a variation on Courier thats easier to read and has all-new, more natural italics. Bravo!

One big problem: Highland will sometimes close for no reason. Why does it do this? I deduct one star because of it.

Still, its the best way to write Fountain files, much more natural than Windows Notepad, or OSXs TextEdit. Although Final Draft will remain the norm for production scripts, I would recommend Highland for absolutely any other screenwriting situation.

Near-Death Happiness about Highland
