Font appears too large

Hi, I'm running Photoshop CS3 Mac.
Text size that would be 9 or 10 point in other apps is only 3 or 4pt in PS. My image size is 600px x 600px, 300 dpi. I think that the font is losing clarity because I have it set to such a low number. Why is this happening? Thanks in advance.

Not sure I understand you, but maybe this will help:
Your 600x600 image at 300 ppi works out to 2x2 inches at actual size. Your 12 point text should look like 12 point text when printed at actual size. However when viewing that 300 ppi image in Photoshop at 100% (i.e. one image pixel = one monitor pixel) it may look too large to you, since your monitor's resolution is probably in the range of 72-100 ppi. (Note that your "2x2 inch" image appears much larger than 2 inches wide in this case.) Therefore a 300 ppi image viewed at 100% in Photoshop will be 300-400% larger than "actual" size, so 12 point type may look too large on screen...in the same way, 3 or 4 point text will look like 12 point text at that magnification.
You can choose View > Print Size for a rough preview of "actual" size, but that depends on the Screen Resolution setting in Preferences > Units & Rulers. 72 ppi is the default, but your monitor may be higher or lower than that.

HELP! Display appears too large for screen!

Weird thing happening... The display on my iPhone for some reason is appearing too large for the screen, as if I zoomed in on the display slightly. I can't figure out a way to fix this.
Here's what it looks like. Notice the bottom half of the "scroll to unlock" is cut off... the whole thing is off-centered bcause of the zoom) http://i37.tinypic.com/25qvpr4.jpg
I updated to the latest software/etc... because I figured that that might resolve the issue. Restarted the phone. Can't fix. Trying to avoid my local Apple store, since it's an absolute mob scene. Any advice?

You have zoom on, probably.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
The manual will tell you how to turn it off.
Page 190:
"Turn Zoom on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the
Zoom On/Off switch.
Note: You cannot use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.
Zoom in or out: Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is
magnified by 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-
and-drag gesture, described below), iPhone automatically returns to that magnification
when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
Increase magnification: With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the
screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease
magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t
lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once you
start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
Move around the screen: When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers.
Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more
of the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that side of
the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you
open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle of the screen.

My firefox page/style format suddenly changed. I would like the original style format. Also, the size of the page and the print/font became too large and I can't seem to change it back. Thanks.

Maybe it got zoomed? Try Ctrl-0 (zero) and see if the text changes back to normal.

Font size too large on itunes summary page . Half the words are cut off.

How to change font size on the itunes summary page? Currently font size is too large resulting in sentences being cut off.

Did you increase the minimum font size?
If you increased the minimum font size then try a lower setting (default is ''none'') as a too high value can cause issues like you described.
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Advanced > Minimum Font Size
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Advanced > "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Font size too large in IE in spry drop down menu

Created a Spry dropdown in a table row thats over a background image. My client just notified that on his windows IE there are breaks in the table cells above and below the table cell that hold the drop down. Looks great on all my macs in different browsers but if I increase the browser font size I notice the same issue. He says same issue on multipul computers at their business and has not messed with the default browser size.
Here is a screen shot. Site can be viewed at http://www.mountainchaletaspen.com
I can decrease the font size but then hard to read. Also not sure if it's a DOCTYPE issue.
The menu portion is a template page - if that matters.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mark

I hope the problem is solved. I was scouring the code for the menu bar items and noticed there were spaces between some of the end tags - specifically between a few of the the </a></li>. I closed them up and my the template view in my assets panel suddenly corrected itself (it had been showing the gaps between tables but the paged still looked fine so I discounted it). That and also decreasing the width of the main menu items helped too. If someone with windows IE could check I would appreciate it:

Font size too large on podcast list

I wish they would make the font size smaller when displaying the podcast titles. Often you cannot read very much of the title, and small fonts are easy to read on this thing, so APPLE, please make the font smaller so we can read more of the titles.
Also, it shows the date, but I wish it would show the length of the podcast. They could double-stack the date over the time (again using a smaller font)

Ipod fonts got too large at startup?

My ipod fonts just got too big at startup and makes it extremely difficult to unlock or operate applications.

when you near to your itunes, just connect it, choose your device in itunes (so you see your ipod with version, capacity etc.)
at this page you have settings and a button for accessibility, there you can change it too

Items on desktop and in windows appear too large

I recently had to perform a System Restore to remove some malicious software, but when my computer restarted I found that everything seemed over-sized. Right now both the desktop and internet explorer look magnified, and to see a standard size web page I have to zoom out to 75%. It is extremely inconvenient, and I've been looking for an answer for quite some time.
I have already verified that my resolution is at 800x600, which is the lowest setting, that my dpi is at 100%, and I've looked at my video card to see if I had to install any drivers. I think it is described as being a "standard vga graphics adapter."
It is very important to me that I correct it back to the way it was prior to the restore, so any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi,
You need higher resolution, not lowest. What is the native resolution of your screen ? 800 x 600 is too low for a normal screen. To help us answer question quicker, please read this:

JSplitPane divider appears too large under 1.4

I just tried my code in 1.4, and the divider of my JSplitPane starts at about 100 pixels wide. If I grab and move it, it resets to the right size. This only happens under 1.4. I've tried explicitly setting the size, but it still initially appears huge.
Any ideas?

Well, I've tried all your creative ideas (many thanks) - I even updated my JVM (jre 1.4b92 windows) to be sure I didn't have an old beta jvm, but nothing worked.
However, I did find a short term hack - something that will likely bite me later. The following code is executed when a window event is triggered. Then 3 seconds later, the revalidate() is called, followed by a JFrame revalidate() and repaint(). (Sense a little frustration here?) Bottom line, I have a working hack - for now. I'll pay for my sins later....

Japanese fonts appear larger in Flash Player 10.0.42.34

Hi
We're experiencing a strange problem in a flash swf object embedded on an aspx page in a .net web application.
Environment :
Adobe Flash Player : 10.0.42.34
Browesers : IE 6 , 7 Firefox 3.5
Client machine configuration :
     Windows XP SP3
     East Asian Language Pack installed.
     Flash player version 10.0.42.34 installed.
We're displaying Japanese text on the page through the flash player.
What happens is that randomly on some client machines the Japanese fonts appear too large in size while on others
they appear perfectly fine.
We also have English , Honkkong and Chinese versions of the page ..all of which work perfectly fine across all client machines.
The issue is only with the Japanese version.
Any pointers on this guys .... ?
Please help !!!!
Thanks

Sure , here is the url :
http://www.forevermark.com/ja-jp/The-World-of-Forevermark-/Precious-Collection/
On some machines , the Japanese text in the centre section appears very large. ..( see attached snapshot)
We initially encountered this on the version prior to the 10.0.42.34 version.
However even after the upgrading to 10.0.42.34 , the problem still persists .
Thanks

That has not worked. I do it and still it reverts. Isn't there a way to tell Firefox to just go back to default settings?

My PDF file appears to be too large/complex to export. Can I split it in some way?

My PDF file appears to be too large/complex to export. Can I split it in some way?

Good day Colin,
In order to split a PDF file, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat.
You may want to try turning off the 'Recognize text' option and converting your file again, it may help.
Kind regards,
David

Form fields appear normal on my computer, but are too large on client's computer

I recently created a fillable PDF using Acrobat Pro for a client. I have done this many times before, and never had any issues with formatting. On my computer, the fields appear perfect, but on the client's computer they are too large and obscure the surrounding text. Please see the first screenshot for reference. Notice the large white form field on the left side. He has viewed the document both on a Mac (in Preview) and on a PC (Acrobat Reader) and had the same problem. The following is a screenshot of the same file on my computer:
On my computer, the name field appears to fill normally. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks!
Jeanne

That person is using Preview and not Adobe Reader or Acrobat. Preview's support for PDF forms is dismal and it should not be used. It actually corrupts PDF forms (and other PDFs) in a number of ways, so that particular file should not be used again. If they don't want to install Reader, there's not much you can do.
