Photoshop CS4 randomly changing font...

I'm baffled by this one. I created a new text layer and chose MT Resolution Classic Tight as the font. I entered one word, entered a space and the continued typing. However, everything after that space was in Minion Pro. I had to select all of the text and change it back to MT Resolution. This is happening no matter what font I choose. I could start with something like Arial, enter a space after the first word I type, and then the rest of the entered text is in some other random font. There seems to be no logic to it. I've been using PS for years, and CS4 for at least a year, and this problem has never come up before.
I can't even begin to imagine what is going wrong. Help?
(Photoshop CS4 Extended 11.0.1 32-bit, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit)

How many fonts do you have installed?
Do a search for and delete all instances of adobefnt*.lst (that extension is .LST).
And if a broken or corrupted font is causing problems there is no alternative in the long run to tracking it down and deleting it.

Photoshop cs4 color changes after I save it from psd to jpg

I have used cs2 for years and just got cs4 and I always work on my pictures in raw then save them as psd then open them in photoshop and work on them and save as jpg for printing.
I can't seem to be able to do how I used to.
I open the picturte in raw and fix the color until it looks good, then open it in photoshop and it still looks good and I save it as jpg then the whole thing goes down hill here I view it in Windows live gallery and the color is all off, its way over concentrated and looks red and jsut way different then it did in photoshop and thats how it prints too.
Any idea what it can be?
Why soon as I save it as jpg the image looks so different.
Please help, I'm working on clients pictures and don't seem to be able to save them so they are right.

okay I see that this is getting little more complicated.
So now I see it isn't anything with windows.
I do edit the picture in raw and it looks good and save it as psd then when I open it in photoshop it looks right and if I select view-proof colors then it comes out with that crazy color as it will look after I save it.
So going from raw where i edit it looks good then after I save it even if I save it there as jpg and open on photoshop it alway changes when it is checked on proof color.
Is anyone on here that know whay this is happening? how do I make the pictures stay the same after I edit them in raw?

Photoshop CS4 Extended- change from PC to Mac and a lost licence key.

Hi,
I have been trying to get into adobe chat to ask these two questions, however it always comes up with an 'chat is unavailable' and I'm unsure of where else to turn- as there is no email contact and no number.
I bought Photoshop CS4 Extended (Student edition) a few years ago and got a disk which i have been using on all my pc computers (deactivating old computers and re-activting new ones), However i have now changed to Mac- and the disk will not load on the mac as it is set for windows. I have then tried to download, CS4 online- but my licence key comes up with a red cross and it will not be accepted. I have looked at other chats and looked at different sites to download the cs4 (and apparently the extended cs4) however i can never find the right download or its just a read me pdf document.
I just want my CS4 photoshop on my new mac computer and unsure how to get it.
Secondly i lost a licence key when one of my family computers died- and have only had one licence key since then. I'm just wondering is there a way to get this back?rent
Is there a different way to contact adobe? Chat just doesn't seem to work for me- and i would love to get these two questions cleared up.
Thanks,
Rachael

Prior to the subscription models—and of course that includes CS4—the Photoshop license was platform specific, either Windows or Mac, but not both. Your CS4 Windows serial number ("key") will never work on the Mac version.
CS4 is out of the loop as far as requesting a platform swap for a nominal fee. It is no longer supported by Adobe in any way. A platform swap required the destruction of your PC version, so you could not use both the PC and the Mac versions.
For a time, you could have used CS4 to upgrade to CS6 for about $200, but that time window has closed by now. Now you would have to own a legitimate version of CS5 in order to be eligible to buy an upgrade to CS6.
You can of course buy the full version of Photoshop CS6 Extended for $1,000 from the Adobe store:
Creative Suite 6
Alternatively, you can subscribe to Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC2014 on a monthly basis without ever owning the software. If you stop paying monthly, the software ceases to work.
The cheapest subscription is the Photography plan, which includes both Photoshop and Lightroom for $10 a month.

DW cs4 - something changed - font code colors

Hello
[history ] I have been using DW CS 4 for 16 months.
[Question ] Sometime in last two months the font code colors changed and are mostly blue. I would like the code to have the variety of colors that it once had which made reading code possible.   When I've checked my code preferences I don't see anything which has changed.
About the same time I have been getting an error message (maybe a red herring to code color issue)
"this page contains some SWF that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer.
Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again."
However pages from same site that don't have SWF error are not having homogenous code color.
Elsewhere when I searched the error code someone suggested looking at extensions. The only extension I remember specifically adding to dreamweaver in last few months is
Adobe :   HTML5 hinting for CS3 & CS4
Thanks,
Casey

@ Nancy Thanks. Generally yes.   Transitional xhtml 1.0.
However ---
DW cs4 code color still is off.
It seems that a possible cause was not the swf issue (as I first asked about) but something with ASP coding.
I say this because when I remove the asp comment at the start of a product page (examples below) .   Yet I don't know asp or DW library well enough to conclusively say this is it or just a hack. I'd prefer best practice option.
'default to order tab or not
or
I edit it to a string
'default to order tab or not'
then rest of page is colored perfectly.
three examples (bigger below) --- as it is DW CS4 not rendering code colors correctly... then #2 removing 'default to order tab or not   then #3
Original --
Modified option 1 -- removed asp comment (which I'd prefer to keep)
modified option 2 ( asp commented closed with ' but this may not be best practice.... will check coding forum for that... for now I'm seeing if DW is messing up something it should be.... )

Printer randomly changes font to italic

I have a Colorlaserjet 3800n. When printing from InDesign CS2, it frequently changes Times New Roman to italic as it prints. Why? What can I do?

Hi,
The initialize script is firing the exit event.
In the same way as you specifically change the colour of the caption font, you could change the posture of the caption as well.
this.caption.font.posture.value = "normal";
Hope that helps,
Niall

WHY do we get a %*# update every 2 weeks while the 1 really bad bug (fonts and sizes randomly changing when typing) persists????

Is there any way to STOP TB from sending updates every couple of weeks (and BTW this has slowed down/crashed TB increasingly in the past couple of months) UNTIL they fix this really irritating bug of randomly changing fonts and sizes when writing a mail? Outlook doesn't do this, Apple mail doesn't do this, so TB stop spamming and start addressing real problems for a change!!!!

It would be helpful perhaps to focus on "the real issue" of font size and compose, rather to digress into how vendors choose to deliver the product.
font issues arose in the past year. I forget exactly when. It is quite a bad problem. My recollection is it was a serializer change not done by Thunderbird developers, and that part of it was fixed in version 24. But I could be wrong.
Would you be willing to try version 31?

Photoshop CS4 Extended, issues with resolution and font sizes on Mac

I have Photoshop CS4 Extended, which worked fine on my old 15 inch Macbook Pro, I think it was 2011 and had high definition display.
I now have a new 15 inch 'late 2013' Macbook Pro with retina display (2880 x 1800), and OS 10.9.4
I have 2 problems:
1) Using photoshop now, the resolution is a lot worse than with my old computer, even though my screen is higher resolution.
For example, the images themselves are worse resolution on my display, far less crisp and more pixelated than any of my other programs. And even the windows such as 'save as...' screens are terribly pixelated also. Is there a way to fix this?
2) When using the type tool, I cannot find how to change the size of the font. There used to be numbers which I could change, and also select the font type, both on the top menu bar always visible. Now there is not anymore. What there is there at the top, is what looks to be a bar on top of another bar. The top layer bar is on the left and reaches about one third of the way across the top, and I can drag it by its corner so it can extend more, but not less. It looks like there are things behind it which I cannot see, because it is over the top of them. Perhaps the text size and font options are stuck behind that. What can I do?
Many thanks!
Justin

Hi JJMack, you said "Seems like you want a low resolution display hook and external display to it." I do not know what that means. I did a google search for "low resolution display hook" and it came up with zero results. Also I do not have an external display, only my laptop.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue? I would greatly appreciate any solution.
Thank you!

Help: photoshop cs4 crashes when i drag a layer under or over another layer/try to change layer orde

help: photoshop cs4 crashes when i drag a layer under or over another layer/try to change layer order
this problem orcurred suddenly after having used the programm for years.
i tried to reinstall cs4 and install all available updates, but it di not help...
please help ! thanks

What is the exact version and what’s your OS?
What does the crash report state?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. I will have to reduce the screen density when I work with those programs.
Thanks for your trouble and regards

Why is it photoshop CS4 worked flawlessly with my fonts in Snow Leopard, but are making CS6 crash in

I transferred all of the fonts starting with 'A' into font book and all of them had either a yellow or red dot next to them. They all worked fine in photoshop CS4. What gives? Will Adobe fix this and make them compatable? I have a fortune invested in fonts I'm not about to toss. What are Adobe and Apple going to do about this? Who's issue is it really? I am not the only one having his issue.
Thank you for any input.

And what fonts exactly? If you're using fonts from the stone age this may be unavoidable. Beyond that a single "bad" font can drag down Adobe apps, which does not necessarily have to be the one you use currently. It's mere existance and PS stumbling over it when populating the fonts list would be enough... The rest is in the details, but as always, start by removing all your fonts and adding them only back on an "as needed" basis. and if you realyl have that many fonts, using a font manager might be advisable to keep lists neat and tidy...

Error of Photoshop CS4 after the installation of the font.

b OS : Vista 32bit sp1
b Photoshop Version : CS4
In CS3 version, the program worked well after the addition of the font in Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts folder.
But in CS4, no fonts folder exists in Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/ folder.
So I created fonts folder and added the fonts, and then I run photoshop.
After all,
The program did not work with error I want to know how to recognize the fonts without the procedure(the installation of fonts) as CS3 version.
Please...

Thanks.
But after the deletion of files, the problem did not solve.
I deleted Adobefnt11.lst file in three folders as your advice.
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Adobe\Fonts
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Adobe\TypeSupport
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Adobe\TypeSupport\CMaps
But after the deletion of files, the problem did not solve.
I searched Photoshop CS4 manual of Adobe.com and found that it was written that it could access if the fonts were added in Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Font folder. However it doesn't work in mine.
Why it(errors and end of photoshop by force) happens? I don't know.
My OS system is vista. Can't be the installation of fonts(Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Font) used in vista?

Change license Adobe Photoshop CS4 (11.0) from window to mac os x

I had legaly bought Adobe Photoshop CS4 (11.0) DVS/A, PHSP, WIN, GEN, MUL,CZ/HU/PL/RO. Its be possible can I change license from Windows to Mac OS X. Because i was change Computers. Old windows computer was burn processor and I was bought Apple Macbook Pro. And i can now use that photoshop. I dont want use WMvare,Oracle virtual box or other.

It's no good arguing with us, we don't make the rules and don't work for Adobe.
In general when you change between Windows and Mac you should budget for re-buying all software, though you can be lucky with some.

Photoshop cs4 - changes seen only in small layers panel window

Hello. I am operating from a mac, using Photoshop, CS4. When I make any kind of change or alteration to my image, the change shows up only in the layers panel small display window, not on the actual image. I have the correct layer selected etc.

Is the layer you are editing the topmost in your layers panel? Is it getting obscurred by a layer above it — perhaps even a blank white layer?

Missing Fonts in Photoshop CS4

I opened an existing CS2 photoshop file in CS4 and I get a missing font error. The font that it can't find is on my system.
How do I "add" this font so PS can see it?
Thanks.

Yeah, I hear ya. But this seems to be a big complaint with 64 bit systems. And since all fonts show up and work fine in all other programs... seems like another adobe bug to me.
If you want to be a bit specific, Arial has 10 types. Only two show up. Regular and bold. And I'm not alone with this problem.
This was a bug (from what I read) in office 2007. But I never used 2007. However it wasn't a problem in office 2003 nor is it with my current version of 2010. As I said, no problems whatsoever with anything except... photoshop cs4 64. (works fine in 32 bit vista)
Now, FWIW, I haven't played much with font directories in the past, but it seems win7 is putting them into their own... kind of "folder". (could be wrong)
That is, in arials case, for instance, they aren't spread out. As... arial normal, black, bold, etc. They seem to be all lumped in to one. Click on it and they all open for display and are all there but I don't remember them that way in older windows progs.
But as I said, everything is fine in notepad, wordpad, excel, word, etc. etc. etc. A corrupt font is one thing, but I can't see a corrupt font working in everything but one program. And they DO work in dreamweaver.
Ok... update. As I said, tried putting them (the arials) in the adobe font directory (which I said was empty). Nothing. Tried again and it duplicated them. Still nothing. Went in and dumped the duplicates... seems to be working.
So, problem kinda solved. Just no clue why.
I need a drink and a few excedrins.
