    I'm not sure where you heard that, but five years of deep involvement and research into the literary publishing process has never revealed to me any such biases on the part of agents, editors or publishers. It wouldn't make sense, anyway: Your initial script is never used in the actual publishing process. It's read, critiqued, and sent back with a list of requested changes, assuming they want anything to do with it. And, once it sees publishing, there's no need for the original. At that point, it becomes a posterity piece. The publishers will have all the templates they need for reprinting and archival.

    Besides, it would be a silly requirement, because of the great difficulty involved in fulfilling it. Typewriters are rare nowadays. Supplies for them can only be found through special-order dealers, and usually then, only for the most popular models.
