Fonts are compressed in Photoshop CS6

Something very strange is going on. All my fonts are slightly compressed, as though the horizontal scaling is set to about 80%. It's not restricted to one font - it's across the board.
Has anyone else encountered this? We have two macs in the studio with the same problem, and we can't fix it.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Cheers Emil
Unfortunately still the same. As you can see from the attached image - top type is how Arial used to and should render. Below is how it is currently showing.

Font not available in Photoshop CS6 or Illustrator CS6 (Mac)

I have installed the Frutiger font family in the font library. It appears in the drop-down menu in InDesign, but not Photoshop or Illustrator. How can I make the font available in these programs?

It’s a ttf file – Frutiger. I’ve managed to get it into InDesign, but not Photoshop or Illustrator. Always seem to have problems with this font!

Configurator panels(even empty once) are slowing down Photoshop CS6 significantly

After updating java this morning, in some cases Configurator Photoshop CS6 panels(even empty once) are slowing down Photoshop CS6 significantly.
I noticed this when i got complaints about hotkeys not working when custom panels were open, the behavior was similar to holding down the hotkey for temp access to tools
I found a workaround where i made the panels not persistent and therefor they load everytime i expand them (slowing photoshop).
Is there a better workaround? and/or is this issue a known thing?

I Had a problem with Configurator slowing down photoshop and what I found on another thread here worked for me. What I did was to exclude Photoshop from my virus software. Once i did that my issues went away.

All my fonts are gone in PS CS6... except "Apple Braille"...is this a joke or a virus? Help!

ALL MY FONTS ARE GONE IN PS CS6, EXCEPT "APPLE BRAILLE" - IS THIS A JOKE OR A VIRUS? HELP~

It's neitehr a joke nor a virus. You simply have a "bad" font on your system somewhere and it's whacking out the entire font list. Remove any extranuous fonts you may have added recently. If you use a font manager, check that, too.

Windows Fonts not showing in PhotoShop CS6

Newly built Windows 7 Machine, installed the fonts and they show in all office Apps but not showing in Photoshop CS6, can you tell me how to get them to appear?
Thanks

Photoshop lists all fonts that are present in 'Fonts' folder in Windows.
If PS is not listing some fonts:
Either those fonts are not located in 'Fonts' folders (Windows keeps it in a secret statsh as they're proprietary to Windows 7)
One or more of those fonts are corrupt. Adobe doesn't list corrupt fonts. In fact, often times Photoshop hangs when you have one or more corrupt/ invalid font registries on your system. Scan for corrupt fonts and remove them
Can you post the 'fonts' that are 'missing', so we can see if they have any associated known issues with Photoshop?

FAQ: What do I need to know about file associations when I load Photoshop CS6?

Use Windows control panel to establish the file association.
This solution uses Photoshop as an example. For any other product, replace that product's filename extension and executable name with the product and file type you are attempting to restore.
Windows 7/Vista
Choose Start > Control Panels.
Change to list view:
Double-click Default Programs.
   4. Click Associate A File Type.
   5. Select .PSD from the list.
Click Change Program.
If your desired version of Photoshop is listed, choose, it. Otherwise, click Browse to locate it and click Open.
Ensure the "Always use the selected program..." option is selected. Click OK to close the Open With dialog box.
Double-click an .PSD file to ensure that it opens with your preferred version of Photoshop.
On Windows 7, click the View By pop-up menu and choose Small Icons.
Windows Vista, click Classic View in the upper left.
Windows XP
       Choose Start > Control Panels > Folder Options.
       Click the File Types Tab.
       Select PSD from the list.
Note: If you do not have PSD in the list of extensions, skip ahead to the next section, Create a filename extension.
       Click Advanced.
       Select the Open action, and click Edit
       Click Browse and navigate to the Photoshop.exe for your version. Select it and click Open.
Note: Make sure that the resulting value in the Application Used textbox has the following syntax, especially the "%1" (with quotes included). If it does not, manually edit the field contents so that it does:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
       Select Use PSD and click OK to close the New Action dialog box.
       Click OK to close the Edit File Type dialog box.
       Click Close to close the Folder Options dialog box.
      Double-click an .PSD file to ensure that it opens with your preferred version of Photoshop.
How to associate files for Photoshop CS5 with Bridge CS5 and Photoshop CS6 with Bridge CS6
1. CS6 assigns all standard graphics files to be associated with CS6 and thus causes Bridge CS5 to invoke Photoshop CS6. The objective is to have Bridge CS5 invoke Photoshop CS5 at least for chosen file types. Ensure neither CS5 nor CS6 is invoked.
2. In the Win7 Start Menu search box, type "file association".
3. Select the "Change the file type associated with a file extension". This starts a window titled "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program".
4. All of the graphic files are assocated with Photoshop CS6.   For those files you want to associate with Photoshop CS5, click on the chosen file extension (e.g. .cr2, .nef, .psd, etc) and click on the "Change Program" to associate the extension to Adobe Photoshop CS5. (note. this step seems to be a necessary operation since, when I simply modified the Bridge CS5 file type associations, Bridge 5 did not honor the change).
5. Start Bridge CS5. Choose "Edit -> Preferences -> File Type Associations".
6. For each file type you wish opened in CS5, change the association from CS6: choose the "Browse" option and locate the CS5 version of Photoshop.exe". This is probably in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)/Photoshop.exe. Click on OK to complete the association.
Now you can invoke Bridge CS5 and it will properly invoke Photoshop CS5. If you invoke Bridge CS6, it will invoke Photoshop CS6. If you use file manager to invoke one of your selected file extension types, it will start Photoshop CS5. Other graphic files will start Photoshop CS6.
If you wish, you can go back and reassociate the chosen types to PhotoshopCS 6 - but your Bridge 5 will still invoke PS5 for your chosen extensions since the Bridge-assigned file associations takes priority over the windows default program.

How do you navigate dialogue boxes using the tab key in Photoshop CS6 on Mac OS X Mavericks?

I know that seems really 101 and obvious, but I worked in Photoshop on a PC for many years, and using the tab key to navigate through every field/radial button/dropdown menu/etc. was never an issue. On the Mac OS X however, it only navigates through certain fields within a dialogue box. And before the guaranteed suggestion to change my Mac OS X Keyboard preferences to allow full keyboard access to "All Controls" instead of "Text Boxes and Lists Only", I have already tried this setting which did not resolve my issue.
Does/has anyone out there worked between both platforms and had this issue as well? I'm a Mac guy through and through, but I must say, this is the one thing that I think PC has a slight edge on. It's incredibly frustrating to have my keyboard workflow interrupted because I can't simply tab over to a certain field that is in a dialogue box which I'm currently working in...
Here are my details:
Photoshop CS6 (13.0.6)
Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Applies to all filetypes as the issue is regarding dialogue boxes and not files themselves.
No error message.
Normal use.
It works on PC, but not on Mac.
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor
8 GB of memory
719 GB of space available on my main HD
This has never worked in any version of Photoshop I have used on any version of Mac OS X, but has worked consistently on every version of Photoshop that I have used on every version of Windows I've used (up to Windows 7)
I hope this provides enough information to get the ball rolling on this. I fear that there is no answer that will resolve the issue, but before I throw in the towel, I figured it was worth trying this forum since my web searches have turned up absolutely nothing of help.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Best,
Tim

Thanks for your input. Since Safe Mac's Adware Removal tool has done a very good job of cleaning out the junk and
letting me run better, I'm happy for now.
However, I appreciate your judgement and I am working on evaluating Safari vs FireFox vs Chrome. I've had some trouble using FireFox with
LastPass which works very well under Chrome. But that is only one data point. Most of my Ram troub;e os related to the number of windows
and tabs I open. I've tried comparing the three browsers for how back each reacts.
I multiply windows and tabs because as I surf the web, I discover things I want and don't want to lose them. However, I need a tool more useful
and structured than bookmarks to be able to record things of interest to make them easy to return to and find later.

Fontnames partly displayed in Japanese - Fonts are not broken...

I'm having a rather odd issue recently, when I was talking to my customer he needed some changes in Text. I had used the font PilGi, which comes to us from Apple with OS X. Unfortunately the font was now dislplayed as: 필기체 in Illustrator. The font is still working, and I can type new characters and so on, but my fontnames are quite unusable now.
Here are the steps, I tried to come over this problem:
1. Repair file permissions: Volume had to be repaired with the System-DVD. Repair Sucess (Volume and Permissions.)
2. Clear font-caches using Onyx.(All: System, Application...)
3. Restore System-Fonts
4. Reset Systemcache
5. Clear the Font Folder from /Library/Fonts
6. Clear the Font Folder from ~/Library/Fonts
7. Reinstall OS X
8. Reinstall all missing updates
9. Called up a friend and had the font E-Mailed to me.
I'm rather confused and helpless. I don't want to import my backuped stuff manually to find out, what was causing the problem...
Any help?

Hi,
Adobe changed the way fonts are displayed in photoshop cc 2014.
Now instead of just showing the font family, all the font styles within the family are displayed as well.

Opening images via Bridge to photoshop CS6

Hi,
We are teaching 3 young 8 year olds Dreamweaver CS6 and Photoshop CS6 (recent installations). We are going fine with Dreamweaver but then we needed to learn how to manipulate images. In particular make new logos for the site and create images for uplaoding from the camera.
We are new to photoshop CS6 but wouldn't expect the issues we are getting right now.
We can't open jpegs completely. We get a transparent background or just a part image. Must be something we are doing wrong I guess. It looks fine in Bridge but really isn't loading well in Photoshop.
Here is where you can see about the laptop we are using : http://brianmellady.com/system.html
Here is a screendump of the issue: http://brianmellady.com/screendump.htm
By the way this is a site http://brianmellady.com which we are using dreamweaver for. We have made a members login page which appears to be working but as you can see unfortunately we badly need to create a logo and make some images for their site which isn't created yet. If I can keep them from games and from Minecraft then we will make progress
It needs to be ready soon so that I can get a domain for them and host it on my Dad's servers.
Regards,
Kristina & Brian

Photoshop CS6: How Long Will ACR Continue to be Updated to Support New Camera Models?

I have Photoshop CS6 and do not wish to update to Photoshop CC.
I see that Panasonic have recently announced the Lumix DMC-FZ1000, and it is rumoured that a Lumix DMC-LX8 will shortly be announced.
Should either of these cameras suit, will Adobe update the ACR version available for Photoshop CS6 users, so that these camera's RAW formats are supported in Photoshop CS6, in due course?
Edit: I see that Photoshop CS6 is still available to buy from Adobe, so I would assume that the ACR version available for Photoshop CS6 will continue to be updated to support new camera RAW formats, up until a short time after CS6 is eventually discontinued?

I am having the same problems. My guess is that a lot of people are having the same problems and just living with it. Those of us who know where to go on the Internet come here to find a fix.
It seems Verizon has some explaining to do. Maybe they should try Beta testing new software a little better. I would rather have to wait longer for something that works. I am sure that some manager or director said this is close enough, deploy it and we will see what happens. Well, you are seeing the problems. Time to fix your mistake.
All of us are telling our friends about the problems. The longer this goes on, the more people we will tell about it.
Wouldn't you rather us be telling our friends that their is an error in the new interface and that you are working hard to fix it?
If you want to be up front about this, then just tell us. We are adults and can handle it. If you made a mistake, own up to it and give us some credit for doing your Beta testing in the field.
Customer Service is all about telling the truth and if you made a mistake, admit it and lets move on with a fix. I do not want to be told again that I should be able to unplug it, power cycle it, try the on-board diagnostics, etc., etc.......
I am going to be repsonding on a daily basis to keep this topic at the top of the list.
Time to come clean. You will feel better Verizon.
Let's talk tomorrow.

Photoshop CS6 Install Question

Why does the Adobe Photoshop CS6 have the two install options clicked by default? These are the Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit) and the Adobe Photoshop CS6. I have Win7 Ultimate 64-bit. Am I missing some features if I only install the former? Is the latter for 32-bit OS? If so, why are they both clicked by default anyway?

There are features like TWAIN fpor scanning or specific printer drivers that pnly work in 32bit. Likewise, some people use legacy third-party plug-ins that only work in 32bit. If you don't fall into any of those categories, then feel free to only install 64bit PS.

Where are the Creative Suite CS6 manuals?

I bought creative suite master & can not find the pdf manuals anywhere.
Please tell me you didn't release a major suite without them

Jeff thanks for the response. I have no problems getting to the help files, This has been more of a situation of expecting PDF manuals as always supplied on the DVD after you stopped providing paper manuals in earlier additions, which by the way I prefer PDF’s. I have also been a bit frustrated due to the fact that some of the programs in the Suite will not run under my current video set up with includes both Intel graphics and Radeon 6970 GPU. Yet these same programs had no problems with this setup in CS5. Seems like we are regressing. Photoshop CS6 Extended 64 bit does run OK without problem but Premiere Pro does not.
I will review the link you provided. I have looked at the link about the video problem but find the solution disturbing as the CS6 Suite is the only SW on my computer that would require me to change my BIOS setting to disable the Intel graphics although programs are supposed to switch automatically to the GPU as needed. It is even more disturbing since CS5 does not have this problem. I am running a machine with 16 M of RAM Win 7 64 bit and an Intel i7 2600K processor.
Sincerely,
Robert Baldassano
