We study the massless field on $D_n = D \cap \tfrac{1}{n} \Z^2$, where $D \subseteq \R^2$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, with Hamiltonian $\CH(h) = \sum_{x \sim y} \CV(h(x) - h(y))$. The interaction $\CV$ is assumed to be symmetric and uniformly convex. This is a general model for a $(2+1)$-dimensional effective interface where $h$ represents the height. We take our boundary conditions to be a continuous perturbation of a macroscopic tilt: $h(x) = n x \cdot u + f(x)$ for $x \in \partial D_n$, $u \in \R^2$, and $f \colon \R^2 \to \R$ continuous. We prove that the fluctuations of linear functionals of $h(x)$ about the tilt converge in the limit to a Gaussian free field on $D$, the standard Gaussian with respect to the weighted Dirichlet inner product $(f,g)_\nabla^\beta = \int_D \sum_i \beta_i \partial_i f_i \partial_i g_i$ for some explicit $\beta = \beta(u)$. In a subsequent article, we will employ the tools developed here to resolve a conjecture of Sheffield that the zero contour lines of $h$ are asymptotically described by $SLE(4)$, a conformally invariant random curve.
