5 years ago Hello,
I'm struggling with similar issues here. With "X" too, but not in the sluglines ("EXT."). Everywhere in action lines the capital X are replaced by "É" except when in bold or italic ! For instance, I have some occurences of the words "VIEUX" and "DEUX" in all caps (I write in french), they appear as "VIEUÉ" and "DEUÉ" in the pdf. If I write "VIEUX" or "VIEUX", the bold or italic X works fine… Following your « funny thing », I've just wrote "DEUX VIEUX" in the beginning of my script, and all are then correctly exported ! (But I can't really write "DEUX VIEUX" in the beginning of my script…). That's really weird…
I've had way more issues with some capitals letters (a lot were missing or swapped with random letters), after removing every “,”,«,» (english and french quotes) and every unbreakable spaces, it seems that I've only this issue with the capital X.
I've tried with Afterwriting locally in my computer and online. This issue happens with the CourierPrime font, I've still to check thoroughly, but it seems OK with the Courier font. I've tried with the fountain package for Atom, and the issues appears with every fonts available there (CourierPrime, CourierCode… unfortunately, Courier isn't there to compare).
I would prefer using CourierPrime, but I don't know where to start to look after this issue…
Edit : And another weird thing, if I search for "VIEUX" in the pdf file, "VIEUÉ" is underlined !

Hello,
First I'd like to thank you for your work on afterwriting-labs. I'm very glad to be able to convert my fountains files into pdf on Linux in a single command line.
I'm sending you this message because I've had a very weird bug today that took me forever to understand. At some point, I noticed that on my lines EXT. PLACE - DAY All my uppercase "X" were replaced by random letters: V, K, sometimes even Ç or white spaces. Example: EVT. PLACE - DAY EÇT. PLACE - DAY E T. PLACE - DAY
But, the funny thing is, if I added a "EXT. PLACE - DAY" at the beginning of my text, then all the occurrences of this line, even at the end of the text, were fine.
After a few hours of investigations, I noticed that I had to remove some special characters from my text in order to make it work: After all the Ü, Û and ï and œ were removed, it worked just fine again.
I was able to duplicate this bug on a dummy example, see attached fountain and pdf document (check the last "EXT. TERRAIN VAGUE - NUIT" replaced by EST. TERRAIN VAGUE - NUIT Even more weird, if I display the pdf on another viewer than Ubuntu Document Viewer, it's fine... Unbelievable.
Don't know if that can be useful for you or not, but again, thanks a lot for your work!
