Photoshop CC font tracking and size input bug

Can not change the font size or tracking in the Character Window. It always gets random numbers in the input field. Very annoying...
System:
MacbookPro Retina, OSX 10.8.4, Photoshop CC 14.0

It's a bug that appears after scaling text. Adobe knows about it. The work-around for now is to not Edit>Transform any text.
Very annoying indeed.

  • Batch font face and size change

    Hi everybody,
    I'm looking to create a batch action/script the will select and change the font face and size in a series of .eps files of barcodes.
    I'm not sure if it's a scripting thing because I've never scripted before.
    If anyone could point me in the right direction or tell me how to do it (action or script)  I'd be very grateful.
    (Each image contains the barcode and three text elements, all Helvetica 24pt which I want to change to OCRB 18.5pt, on about 120 images)
    Thanks chaps

  • Set default font type and size in formcreated using Acrobat X Pro

    I have a word document that I used Acrobat X Pro to create a PDF and then a Form.  The Form has over 200 text fields.  Is there a way to globally set the font type and size to one type, for instance Arial 10 so that when someone opens the Form and fills it in, the global font type and size is preset         

    Are you talking about fields that you create manually or field created with the Form Wizard? Exactly what version of Acrobat are you using? What OS?
    In any case, using a script is a quick and easy approach:
    for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
        var fName = getNthFieldName(i);
        var f = getField(fName);
        if (f.type === "text") {
            f.textFont = font.Times;
            f.textSize = 9;
            // Other properties go here
    I use this type of thing all the time to quickly alter a form. Such a script isn't added anywhere, just executed (e.g., JavaScript console). Over time a developer can build up a collection of utility scripts that can do all sorts of things to dramatically speed up development. It would be bad if this option were not available.
    If there is a bug, it should certainly be addressed, so don't think I'm arguing against that, but I'm not seeing it on any of my systems. I can successfully set the default field properties by selecting "Use Current Properties as New Defaults". The Form Wizard does not use these defaults, but that's a different matter.

  • Creating form - want to change font style and size in more than one field at a time HOW??

    creating form - want to adjust font style and size in more than one field at a time - HOW??

    Select the fields with the mouse, right-click one of them, go to Properties
    and set the settings you'd like them all to have.

  • Add font types and sizes to ICWC HTML e-mail editor

    Hi,
    I'm working with ICWC e-mail component and I'm wonder to know how can I add more font types and sizes to HTML e-mail editor. At the moment i just have 5 font types and a few font sizes.
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Nuno Moreira

    Hello Nuno,
    Just try this:
    First you have to upload your .ttf font by using se73 transaction.
    Then you must map it, using this tables:
    SAP: TBTFFONTMAPDEF
    Customer: TBTFFONTMAP
    Just add a line in customer table TBTFFONTMAP with your font (or existing one), and the language that will be used by the users (It accepts wildcard * for all languages)
    And it's done.
    Best Regards,
    Bruno

  • Email font style and size

    Lately my email font style and size setting will not save.  I have to keep setting them each time I type an email. I do not want to use the default style and size. Why is this not working even though I follow the suggested instructions in the Settings area? Thank you.

    I have the same problem as kakingsbury. THIS IS A SUDDEN PROBLEM WITH VERIZON EMAIL. PLEASE SEND A FIX TO YOUR USERS, VERIZON!
    Recipients of my email (browser is Chrome) cannot read it because though I send it in 12 font, they receive it in "too small to read" font even when I change the size to 16. Tried changing from RTF to plain text but since the New Verizon email does not allow email in plain text it automatically adjusts back to RTF. 
    Tried changing the settings in Chrome Advanced settings then logging out and closing browser. Seems to work. Not sure if recipients will be able to read it.

  • Modifying Java font type and size

    Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this but I might as well try. I play a lot of Yahoo Chess which uses a java software to launch its program. I'm a new Macbook user and before when I was in Windows/PC, the font type and size setting was okay. Now I barely can read the font whenever I launch Yahoo Chess (using Java) in my Macbook.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Which font and font size did you use in your applet? Do you have sample code that could demonstrate the problem? This may have to do with the difference in font aliasing between MS VM and Sun JVM.

  • Is it possible to change the font name and size without having to compile?

    Dear All
    We have one requirement that we need to change the font name and font size at run time dynamically without having to compile all the forms in 6i.
    Is there any way or work around to achieve the same.Kindly suggest us.
    something like using uifont.ali or forms60_defaultfont, or set_item_property
    Thanks and Regards
    Thangaraj.

    Dear All,
    Thanks for your updates, Technically what both of you said is correct. but in application server we used something like ClientDPI to match the client server font with the application server, i need to know that is there anyother way something like this...?
    I have read one document(Note:28397.1 in metalink) saying that using uifont.ali file we can change the font at run time, but i have used this only for report
    Thanks and Regards

  • Is it possible to change the font style and size of the front panel title?

    Can you change the style and size of the Front Panel Window title?  I seem to have no luck.  I seem to be stuck with only 1 font/style.  I would like to use a superscript for 1 of the letters in the title.  Is this possible?  If it isn't this would be a nice feature to have in the future.  I am using LabVIEW 8.5.1.

    Things like the window title font is a function of Windows - not LV. You can change it globally, but not on a window by window basis.

  • Serious keynote notes bug - notes font colour and size are not adjustable on master slides

    I would like as many people as possible who are frustrated with this issue to comment on this post. Perhaps together we can demand an update that addresses this serious problem with Keynote.
    The problem: You are unable to change the font type, colour or size of presenter notes. You can do it if you go into each individual slide, or if you hack into the program and edit the code, but you can't as a user change all the notes at once. This is ridiculous. Everyone should avoid Keynote and buy PowerPoint until this is fixed.
    When you go to slide master and try to adjust the font size, colour and type in Keynote it is greyed out. This is the grey of bad programming.
    This is a complete joke. It needs to be fixed and it needs to be addressed in the next Keynote update. How was this version released without this being detected?
    When are you going to fix it Apple iWork developers? The software is unusable for most of us until you do.

    First of all, I am not frustrated with this as I don't use presenter notes. Second, this forum is for users, not Apple developers. Have you provided feedback to Apple through their website? You will get a lot further doing that then complaining to other users here.

  • How can I reset the font type and size on my email. It changed after I updated to Firefox 5.0 and I can't get it back.

    After updating to Firefox 5.0 the font changed on my email. I checked, and the default setting is what I had put in before the update but it's not working. How can I get my email to use the font and type size that I chose? The one that's currently being used (since after the update) is so tiny one can hardly see it. My email program is through yahoo but there doesn't seem to be a way to change it at the email site. I'm not terribly PC savvy so please respond with a detailed/explicit answer. Thanks for any help you can give me with this. I have Windows XP and use Firefox as my browser.

    Hi again...,,yes, I did try the "reset zoom" on the email compose message page and nothing happened. I'm not familiar with add-ons. Went to the address you suggested (DefaultFullZoomLevel) but don't know how to use it. Also, I don't want to enlarge the text on all web pages.....just the email page. By the way, if it makes a difference, I think I forgot to mention that I use AT&T/Yahoo webmail....not Outlook Express or Thunderbird or any other email program. I'm not familiar with those and don't want to change email programs. Thanks again for trying to help with this. I'm beginning to think this problem is "unfixable" and considering changing back to a previous edition of Firefox (IF that's even possible).

  • Can i change address book font?  and size?

    can I change my address book font and font size?  operating system is OS 10.9

    OK, I just answered my own question.  But since there have been so many questions on this forum over the years - about changing fonts/sizes/colors - I thought I would share what I learned with others.  Remember that I'm using OS 10.9 and Contacts 8.0. and this may not apply to older or future versions:
    Whe you are in "Contacts," click on "File" and drop down to "print."  Click on "Print."
    A printer page will come up.  On this page, look at the lower righthand quadrant.  You are given a choice to select either "layout" or "label."  Click on "label."  Now you will see, the bottom of that block, the word "Font."  Immediately following that word, you will read the name of the font that "Contacts" is pre-set for, which, in my case says "System Font Regualr-12.0."  To change this font, you now click on the button to the right that says "Set."  When you click on "set" a drop down menu will appear.  Voila!  From here you can choose your preferred typeface, color, and font size. 
    Have fun. Glad I could help myself.  Hope this helps you!

  • Setting font style and size

    I have created a form in Acrobat 9 Pro with multiple text fields for which I would like to make sure only a certain font style & size is used (e.g., Arial 10). I have set this in the properties of the text box, but when I test it by cutting and pasting from a Word document (which our applicants are likely to do), it keeps the original formatting and does not follow the settings I created. Is there a way to allow the cutting and pasting, but only into the settings I've made?
    Thanks for any help!

    Probably. Try doing the same with the field that doesn't have this setting
    turned on, and you'll know for sure...

  • Where is the total tracks and size information in itunes when I select multiple items?

    In older versions of iTunes, when I was creating a playlist for burning to a cd, I was able to see the number of tracks selected and the total size. Is this information still available somewhere?

    Don,
    Yes, it is in the Status Bar at the bottom of the playlist or library.  It shows song count, time, and total file size.
    If you do not see the Status Bar, enable it by using the command View > Show Status Bar, or the shortcut CTRL+/.

  • JLabel font type and size..

    JLabel font size and type, got any idea?
    Need to import any class?

    ??I agree. What the heck are you asking?
    If you want to know the default font size and type for a JLabel, then read the API. Hint you would use a get??? method.
    If you want to change the font size and type for a JLabel, then read the API. Hint you would use a set??? method.
    You can't program without access to the API so get a copy of one and use it.
