hlp with text tool

recently, whenever i started to use the text tool, my fonts have been acting very strange because all the font sizes are too big

to get a font that looks like something like this, i had to choose a font with its size at 2.5 pt, while before, it was somewhere around 8, 9, or 10.

i dont think i did any modifications to my computer except my wallpaper and i did nothing to change my photoshop (cs2) settings.

 

some fonts are naturally bigger than others.

are you using some new font?

 

I get this all the time, I read before there was a button you had to press but I forget, if I remember I will post

 

if I'm not mistaking it has something to do with the settings of your file, DPI maybe?
I've had worse though, yesterday I had to use a 900 px. font to make it visible <_<

 

no im not using new font - i was using times new roman at the time

 

make sure your resolution is set to 72

 

make sure the font is not on bold or on subscript
