# How do I change the font in Playback Mode?

Since Scriptation is an annotation program, it isn't possible to change a PDF's font after it's been imported. In a film or television script, the font is usually in the Courier family. However, [Playback Mode](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-playback-mode-dg5uqr/) presents your script in a separate, customizable view where you can temporarily change the font type and size to optimize the display for reading aloud or rehearsing.

|| 📝 NOTE: This setting only affects how the script appears in Playback. Your underlying PDF — including page count, layout, and the script's actual font — is unchanged. Exit Playback Mode and you'll see the original Courier formatting.

### Changing the Font

1. **Touch** or **click** the **Playback** icon on the [Top Toolbar](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/an-overview-of-the-top-toolbar-i5y1y8/) to enter [Playback Mode](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-playback-mode-dg5uqr/);

2. **Touch** the **gear icon** in the top-right corner to open the **Playback Settings** tab;

3. Under **Display**, you'll find two font-related settings:

* **Font type** — Choose the font Scriptation uses for playback (default: **Courier Prime**);
* **Font size** — Set the playback font size (default: **20**).

| ✅ TIP: There's also an **Overlay** setting under Display that controls how the line being read is visually emphasized — choose **Highlight** (grey highlight around the line) or **Fade** (default — slightly dims everything except the current line). See the [Playback section of An Overview of the Settings Menu](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/an-overview-of-the-settings-menu-1v2uicm/) for the full list.
