In CS 5, the font size in the type tool isn't working correctly.
Example: 30 point looks like 4 point
How can I correct it?

In case you have not fixed this, take a look at your Image Size (Ctrl Alt i).  The default when you make a new document window is 72ppi which can result in smaller text than you sometimes expect.  If you open Image size, turn off resample, and change the resolution to something like 300, you'll get much larger type for the same settings.
For this reason one of the first things I do after installing Photoshop, or resetting Preferences, is to open Preferences > Units & rulers, and set Type to mm.  This way I know that if the document is set to A4, and orientated in landscape (297mm x 210mm) setting text to 21mm is going to result in type exactly one tenth the height of the document.
I believe people in America still use inches, but unfortunately inches are not an option for Type units in Preferences.  It is easy enough to work it out in your head though. A 10x8 document with type set to 25mm will give you text one eighth the height of the document.
The bottom line is you can at least predict what is going to happen when setting text size.

  • The font size in the iOS 7 slim bar is too small, can i increase it?

    The font size in the iOS 7 slim bar is too small (clock, battery status etc), can i increase it?

    same complaint here
    but under Accessability you can select Bold type. it helps a little to make it more readable, but it's surprising that Apple's built-in apps, like Weather, do not use Dynamic font size font and icons are way too faint and small now.
    Apple sticks to all or nothing too often and then markets the heck out if it to brainwash people into thinking it's better.
    Ive's sense of stripped down asthetics gets in the way of actual usability too often. hope someone steps in before the iphone is reduced to 1 softbutton that just does whatever apple wants it to do regardless of what the customer needs to accomplish...

  • How can I change the font size on the post of WordPress?

    I have found three websites which address WordPress style sheets:
    Playing With Fonts: http://codex.wordpress.org/Playing_With_…
    Font Size and Color: http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/…
    How to Change Font Size In Wordpress: http://www.ehow.com/how_5469172_change-f…
    Here are the instructions from the third website above:
    Things You'll Need:
    Site designed in Wordpress
    Administrator access
    Step 1
    First, to change the font size on a Wordpress site you need to log into the site as administrator. If you do not know how to reach the login page, simply add "/wp-login.php" after the "www.url.com" address. Then login using the admin sign in.
    Step 2
    Next, get to the Wordpress file editor by going to Appearance->Editor.
    Step 3
    Once in Editor, identify the Stylesheet file (style.css) and click to edit. This is usually located on the right hand side under the "Styles" heading.
    Step 4
    Once in the style.css file, you want to conduct a search for "fontsize". This parameter is used throughout the style.css file and is the parameter used to control font size. Next to "fontsize" you will see something like "16px". Simply increase or decrease the "16" to change font size. The tricky part is to figure out which "fontsize" you want to edit.
    The way to do this is to first look at the heading it is under. If it is under "comment-template", it is obviously related to either the font size of the comments themselves or perhaps the comment form or the date/time stamp of the comment.
    It may take a little trial and error to find the right "fontsize" to modify. Simply modify the one you think is correct and in a separate window, reload the page with the font you are looking to modify. If it did not change, undo the previous edit and try a different "fontsize".
    I went to the Dashboard and clicked on the “Appearance” icon on the left-hand side, and then clicked on editor. I clicked on Stylesheet (style.css), but I have not been able to find the “fontsize” that would change my post font size. As the author writes: "The tricky part is to figure out which "fontsize" you want to edit." Some of the font sizes are given as a percentage, and I don’t know if these come into question, i.e., if I should try changing one of these to see what happens.
    The end result is that I still have not been able to change my post font size, other than by using the Heading-1-through-6 option, which, I understand, is not the best way to do it.

    From John Waller: “If you're using IE8, hit F12 to launch Developer Tools which give you a point and click method of locating the relevant CSS rule on screen.”
    I have Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) so tried this method.
    This sounded like another promising possibility; however, I have not been able to change the font size in my post using this method.
    I have gone to Dashboard > Posts > Edit > then moused-over my post > clicked on "edit" and then hit F12. An enormous amount (20 pages or more) of CSS appears. I tried picking out the font size that I thought pertains to the post (under Text Area), and I have changed the font size from 13px to 24px; however, I have not been able to “save” the new setting. When I go back to it, it is back to 13px.
    As a result, I have not been able to use a trial-and-error method to establish which font size I must change in order to change the font size of my post.

  • Is there any way to change the font size of the text in the Finder Sidebar?

    This may sound like a bit of a dorky question but here goes nothing...
    I am rather near-sighted and in need of new glasses but I am stuck in a holding pattern until I can get a referral to see my eye doctor. Anyway... I have found myself using the Zoom features far more often and increasing the font size in the Finder for the Item Names & Info.
    The problem that I am facing now, is that the font size of the text in the sidebar is FAR SMALLER than the font size of the text of the actual file names & info.
    +*IS THERE ANY WAY TO INCREASE THE FONT SIZE OF THE TEXT IN THE SIDEBAR??*+
    So far I have looked in:
    *The Finder Preferences
    *The Desktop Preference Pane
    *The Appearance Preference Pane
    *The Seeing Tab of the Universal Access Preference Pane
    And to add to my frustration I have also searched the Mac OS X Help AND all of the posts in this thread (back to 1/1/09) that had the word "sidebar" mentioned in them!!
    +*DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS?? OR IS THIS ONE AREA THAT I AM OUT OF LUCK BECAUSE APPLE DIDN'T FORESEE THIS ISSUE??*+
    Usually, Apple is really very good about foreseeing any possible trouble (ESPECIALLY when it comes to the area of Accessibility for people w/ disabilities!!)
    I do hope that SOMEBODY can help me on this one!!
    Also, I noticed that the size of the text that is on the Toolbar is also the same ITSY BITSY font size as the text on the sidebar, but I am guessing that there is next to nothing that can be done about that!!
    Thanks a Million!!

    Is there any way to increase the font size in the Creative Cloud. Using a Lenovo Yoga 2 with 14" screen and care barely see the menus.

    In short, no. There is no fix yet. They only barely acknowledge there is a problem. The "fix" is to enable 200% UI scaling which makes everything comically huge and unusable. This is pretty much of a joke. A really, really EXPENSIVE joke.

    Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family  and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

    I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
    Regards

    You can't. Any version before Creative Cloud does not support high-DPI displays and that is just that. If you cannot adjust the system's screen resolution and so on, then there is nothing you can do.

  • Is there a way to change the font-size in the html element

    I notice that by default, the font-size in the boilerplate.css file is set to 100%. Is there a way to set it to something else such as 62.5%? I would like to see exactly what my content will look like in my WordPress theme. I build my themes using a font-size of 62.5%. This make's it very easy to do the arithmetic when using the "rem" unit.
    I tried manually changing the size in the css boilerplate file but that did not work. If this cannot be done in the current version, I may be a usful feature in a future version. Thanks.

    If you click on "Body" in the status bar and select the Styling tab, you can set the text properties that cascade from the body element.

  • How do you change the font size under the event and iphoto view photos?

    I would like to change the font size in iPhoto under the photos that appear in the Events view and in the Photos view. I was told by a tech at Apple that it cannot be done because it is built into the software. What you see is what you get. That seems unusual because the font size in the Photo view is smaller than that in the Events view. The Font control that exists in File/Edit are for fonts used when you open a photo and add your own captionI and have nothing to do with the various views. Does anyone know a way to do this?   Thanks

    I'm afraid it really is WYSIWYG. It can't be changed.  You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
