How do I change the font in Playback Mode?

To change the font in Playback Mode, open Playback Mode, tap the gear icon at the top-right, and set Font type and Font size under Display.

📝 NOTE: This only changes how the script looks in Playback. Your PDF's font, layout, and page count stay the same — a PDF's font can't be changed after import.

Changing the Font

Touch or click the Playback icon on the Top Toolbar to enter Playback Mode;

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

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 for the full list.
