fonts disizeing

[jennywren]

I use photo shop and for some reason my fonts are all over the place. when I use them now the come up too small and when I use the return the gap is huge. I have changed something but have'nt got a clue how to put it right. Any suggestion, I just have brought a load of images from someone that uses apple, but its just not on his images but also on mine.

You could try this, should work for CS2 and CS3 and maybe others.

I have not tried it, but it is meant to set photoshop to default initial settings.

How to reset Photoshop preferences (In Windows):

First, hold down all three Ctrl+Alt+Shift buttons
Now "while keeping those button held," simply open Photoshop or a file that opens with Photoshop
As Photoshop loads, you should get a prompt asking if you would like to "delete the Photoshop settings file", Click yes
You should now have a fresh slate with all of the settings returned to their default.

Note: This process is kind of finicky and doesn't always work. I have had the best results pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift and clicking the photoshop shortcut from the start menu in Windows.

Font size - Have you altered the size in the toolbar along the top when the text tool is selected?
Gap between text lines - this can be altered in the character options box, which can be accessed by clicking on the icon that looks like a page, generally on the right of the same toolbar.
