This belongs here right?

Well, whenever I use photoshop, it seems like randomly the font sizes are messed up. They're MUCH larger than what they should be. Like, a size "4" is the equivilant to a size "16" everywhere else. But sometimes, the sizes are normal. I thought it was random, but lately it's always been at the freakish size. This is a problem because when I go below size four, the sizes decrease dramatically until it hits one. I know there are fraction sizes, but I shouldn't have to do that at all.
What's causing this, and how can I get it to be normal again?
And no, I am not zoomed in on the image.

I just remebered, another problem I have sometimes is that I will be typing, and then I won't be able to use the spacebar. It just doesn't work. I have to leave the text thing and return for it to work. This is much minor, but I thought I would toss it out there anyway, just in case.

i think you have an issue with the resolution of your image. When you create a new image, check underneath the dimensions of width and height and you should see what i'm talking about. Many times (for whatever reason) my resolution would start at 1 . not very fun when i get 75% done with making an image to realize my text will be fucked. I can't check for certain right now (virus just attacked photoshop), but i think that might be it.

Anyway, i think the standard resolution, at least for me, was 72. Try that next time, it might work.

yeah, resolution makes a big difference in how big you need to set your fonts to be. If you are making images for the internet, then 72 dpi (dots/pixels per inch) you want to use. Otherwise, you should set the dpi to be equivalent to what your printer resolution is.

maybe because your printer is 300 dpi? must be an old printer if it is 300 dpi...

Eh, don't worry, mine changes it's resolution on me randomly too. And the color settings.

I *never* voluntarily use anything other than RGB color, but sometimes I will start a new document and discover that for whatever reason, it's created it in Greyscale or CMYK.

I think Photoshop has a mind of it's own.

i think photoshop settings change according to the type of image you have currently in memory or on the clipboard. It is hard to imagine after 8 versions of photoshop, that this bug appears...
