[Bboy_Budokai]

like for example if i put in 40 pt, the text is uber small, i make a enw document, 40 pt, its the correct size, i've had this happen before, does anyone know how to fix it?

edit, now even when i make new documents the text is still screwd

This may be a stupid question, but what are the dimensions of that canvas in pixels?

 

[Bboy_Budokai]

your right, it was a stupid question.

i think that sample was 400x 400 px

 

[DragonDude]

Well, you didn't supply any other information...

Does this happen with any font you use, default Windows fonts included?

A simple Google search gave me this forum post. Sounds like a reinstall helped someone before, and there's a few other solutions in there.

I against? I? bad brains? or just the band I against I? heh =P

Check your character tools (window > character) make sure that the two icons with big "T"'s with different arrow dimentions showing are both at 100%, if they're bigger that's the problem if its not then i have no idea what the problem is

Mine did that before too. It was because I had the Canvas a lot bigger or smaller and then changed the size or something like that. I had a canvas and changed the size and the text stayed the same... restart your Photoshop or open a new document or something. I think i restarted mine and it worked after that.

i tried that... its 400 x 120 something px

i have made other things and they work fine

thats that psd in particular

Change your resolution settings on that pic from (higher then 100 most likely) to 28,346 pixels/cm

That's what makes the difference.

you mean 72 ppi? That's the default resolution. 28,346 is a bit excessive for one cm.
