The code, used in downstream Marked 2, seems to produce about 48 lines per page. A more common standard seems to be 55 lines per page, e.g., https://screenwriting.io/what-is-standard-screenplay-format/ . With consumers often thinking of 1 page as 1 minute, this makes fountain scripts appear 20% longer than they would be if using another format.

I am suspecting that apple converged iOS and macOS over the last 10 years (last time this code was updated), and the fountain comment now applies on macos as well:

/*
This method won't work on iOS. For iOS you'll need to adjust the font size to 80% and use the NSString instance
method - (CGSize)sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize:lineBreakMode:
*/
