PhotoShop Palette Menus Have Large Font

I've recently been through a big crash and reinstall of the OS (from the 10.4 DVD then the Software Update to 10.4.3) and Adobe Creative Suite 8.0. I have since trashed prefs as well as the ap and reinstalled PhotoShop a couple of times. However, that did not solve the problem, which is... the font that PhotoShop now uses on the labels in the Layers, History, Actions, Info, etc. palettes is too large. It’s not the compact little font that was always there before, so it makes those palettes unwieldy. I have double checked that the layers in Illustrator, ImageReady and GoLive are still okay. They look fine, with compact little labels, just like always (and just like PhotoShop used to look). So, presumably, it ain’t a font thing, maybe more of a link of some kind? Any thoughts??? Thank you, Sam

In Photoshop under General Preferences there is an option of "UI Font Size". See what you have it set at.

Web pages have large font on macbook

When I go to webpages that have videos the fonts and video images are extra large and the entire webpage does not fit on the screen (I have to side scroll to see all content.)
not sure how this happened, and just hoping someone can help me.
Thanks in advance!

Press the key combination option-command-8 to disable Zoom. If you're using an Apple wireless mouse, open the Mouse pane in System Preferences and uncheck the box marked Smart zoom.

I need the font style century gothic for a project im working on, but neither my final cut pro x nor my photoshop have this font style. Where do you get/buy new fonts?

Not on this list.
Maybe it gets installed with something else? For example, I have MS Ofiice on the 10.7 system but not on the others.

Is there a "Large Fonts" feature in OS X? I can't seem to find one.

Hi all,
My mother just got an iMac 27". It is running at 2560x1440. However, at this resolution even on the big monitor the menu bars are quite as is the font on the menus. In windows which she used to use and which I use, there's a "Large Fonts" feature which increases the size of the font on menu bars, and the button on the window manager.
However, I can't seem to find this feature on the mac. I increased the cursor size. I increased the default size of window content in safari etc. And can incr. the size of the dock. But no where can I find a "large font" feature. I can drop the resolution, but this is obviously a bad solution as this just makes everything fuzzy and ugly. Is there any way to preserve resolution and incr. menubar sizes/font sizes? The zoom feature is does not have acceptable behavior to conveniently incr. menu size (most of the time it zooms the menus right out of the frame, and the PIP mode is also poor)
Any ideas? If there is no OS X built in solution, Is there a 3rd part solution to this?

Well...it's fuzzy in the way that when you run an LCD on a non-native resolution (e.g. 1600x900 on 2560x1440) the text isn't sharp anymore. It's very notably ugly and pixelated. Windows would simply enlarge the font size but keep the native resolution which made the text nice looking even at higher resolution.
Hrm. This is very frustrating. Kinda wished I had discovered this before the return period. Seems like OS X has done a very half hearted accessibility. Just decreasing the resolution to increase the size seems kinda lazy. Both Windows, and even many linux window managers have features to adjust this for people with visual impairment without having to sacrifice the resolution. I suppose I could always install Windows on the Mac :-/
Is there not even a 3rd party solution or 3rd party mac window manager that might do this that anyone is aware of? My search turned up empty...
Much appreciated.

Possible to script palette menus Save and Load Curves?

Is it possible to script CS4 Photoshop's palette menus? Specifically, the "Save Curves Preset ..." and "Load Curves Preset" ... of the Adjustments Palette.
I have 600 images, some of which have layer>new adjustment layer>curves applied.
I want to save the curves using the image name. Later, I want to be able to load the appropriate curve.
E.g., for image001.tif, the curve would be image001.acv
(I already have a loop set up to iterate through the files and get the file names.)

Thank you.
I got both scripts working without JS or AS errors, but, when trying to load .acv files generated by the second script, CS4 Photoshop gave an error:
"Could not load the curves because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop"
(The loading script works fine when loading .acv files created directly from Photoshop.)
The only change I made to your Save Curves code was:
FROM: var myACV = new File('~/desktop/myCurve.acv')
TO: var myACV = new File(file);
and made the code a function:
saveCurves(file)
YOUR CODE HERE
so that I could incorporate it into the Applescript.
Maybe that was naive (I'm not very knowledgeable about JS).
Here are the scripts I'm using:
SAVE CURVES:
set gammaFolder to "/Users/me/Desktop/myproject/gamma/"
tell application "Finder"
          set TheFolder to choose folder
          set FileList to every file of entire contents of TheFolder as alias list
end tell
repeat with theFile in FileList
          set thefilename to theFile as string
          set text item delimiters to ":"
          set thefilename to last text item of thefilename --remove path
          set text item delimiters to "."
          set thefilename to first text item of thefilename --remove extension
          tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
activate
open theFile
                    tell current document
                              if exists layer "Curves 1" then
                                        set current layer to layer "Curves 1"
                                        do javascript "saveCurves('" & gammaFolder & thefilename & ".acv');
function saveCurves(file) {
-- SAVE CURVES JAVASCRIPT HERE
};" --show debugger on runtime error
                              end if

          if acvExists then
                    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
activate
open theFile
                              tell current document
                                        if not (exists layer "Curves 1") then
                                                  do action "Create Curve Layer" from "MyActions"
                                        end if
                                        set current layer to layer "Curves 1"

Noob needs help using/managing large font collection in os10

Hope this is the correct forum for this question. I'm a os10 noob starting at a new, small startup design-oriented biz (6-7 macs) that needs to manage fonts - 100s, over a 1000. Other places I've worked used Font Reserve and I'm familiar with that program but I never knew if it came with os10 or you had to go buy it, and if you needed to buy a separate copy for each computer?
I'm trying to help get this biz set-up, but I know NOTHING about font usage/set-up in os10. I've always used ATM Deluxe4.6 (os9) and have over 2000 fonts nicely arranged in sets (took me an entire day, way back when). Would love to transfer these arranged sets into os10, if possible.
Is there a built-in font mgmt in os10? Is it any good for large collections? Is Font Reserve a good program for large font collections?
I don't even know where os10 stores fonts or the right questions to ask. Pls point me in the right direction!
TIA

Fontbook is ok for dealing with a handful of fonts on an occasional basis, but for pro design work you should run, don't walk, to: http://www.linotype.com/fontexplorerX/
FontExplorerX beats the pants of any other font management tool I've used on the mac after many years of ATM, Suitcase & Font Agent Pro. FEX looks and feels like an "iTunes for Fonts" - it's fast, stable, clean and simple to use and best of all for a small biz (like me) - it's FREE! :O

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Creative cloud - Menu Bar and Palette's are tiny font.

I just downloaded creative cloud on my lenovo Yoga Pro 2. The size of my Menu Bar and Palette's are tiny font. However, Lightroom menu bar and palette's are in a normal size easy to read font. Can anyone tell me how to change just Photoshop?

For now the solution seems to be using the Scale 200% setting in Edit>Preferences>Experimental Features.
There is also a setting in Edit>Preferences>Interface>UI Font Size that enlarges some of the fonts, although not the menu bar.
After changing either setting, you need to restart photoshop to see the changes.

Can't figure how to get larger fonts in terminal

I am new and very happy to say I've got Arch/XFCE/nfs working on network and soon to work on Samba but how in the wide wide world of sports can I get larger font on my terminal when in XFCE?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

I too have experienced the "agony of defeat" with fonts and xterm. Here is how I use to launch my xterm:
xterm -fa "andale:size=18" -bg black -fg white -geometry 80x25 -tn xterm-color -sl 1000
* The key is the "size" parameter after the font (fa)mily name. I was using True Type fonts and was using "andale" in this case. I believe the size field should be applicable to whichever font you choose. Alternatively, I believe you can pass the "-fs" option to xterm to accomplish the same thing as ":size".
For example,
xterm -fa "andale" -fs "18"
will accomplish the same text size as in the first example. Just try different font size (fs) values, and see which values will actually scale for that font.
One caveat, I believe the "fa" option for xterm is limited to the freetype library fonts.

Acrobat 9 - hyper link issue and print in larger font

I am using Acrobat 9 and have two issues :
When I try to convert a web page to pdf file i.e. through the print command in FF, the text links are there in the new file but without the underlying hyper links ?
How can I print the files with a larger font. It is okay for seeing it on monitor but too small for me when I print.
thanks.

Do as AbhigyanModi suggests or use the Adobe Acrobat plugin that should be in your web browser if you're using Internet Explorer. This happened because you "printed" to convet to PDF. You have to use either AbhigyanModi method or use the Internet Explorer plugin to save active hyperlinks.
In terms of the font size -- You can set up the web capture preferences first. Explore the menu that AbhigyanModi suggests or use the built in help. It's there for a reason.

Fontheight problem with large fonts, probably Table related

I use large fonts (size 22) and some websites that use tables as a layout tool do not display correctly, for example [http://www.khanacademy.org/#browse http://www.khanacademy.org/#browse]
or
[http://youtube.com http://youtube.com]
The bottom half of the font inside tables is overlayed by the line below and the only way the page can be read is by using View->Style->No Style
It looks like the table height doesn't take the font height into account, as soon as the minimum font size size is above 14 it becomes progressively unreadable.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
*Edit > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Edit > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

WEB Forms do not display properly with windows 95 LARGE fonts desktop setting

Hi,
We are using WEB forms 6.0 patch level 6 (We tried 6i but had too many bugs with it, we prefer to wait until at least a couple of patches are out, installation was a VERY painful experience for us)
We still have the following problem with WEB FORMS deployed on win95 desktops with LARGE FONTS destktop settings: The forms are not displayed correctly, sometimes there are no scroll bars, resizing a window gives weird results, part of the forms become inaccesible, some forms are blank, etc...
Can you verify or confirm that you have the same kind of problems ? We use jinitiator 1.1.18.
Is it fixed with 6i ? Is it fixed wit jinit 1.1.27 ?
We develop in smal fonts on win95 and recompile under solaris before deploying.
Thanks

Thank you all for your fast asnwers. The "Use hardware acceleration when available" was the problem, I disabled it and I will post a message on my site about this.
The site is on-line in the same aspect since 2005, modifiyng the whole site to fit with Firefox11's default setting is not a good option. At that moment, placing a tabel (alligned to the center of the page) and puting in it the thumbnails with links generated by ExpressThumbnailCreator, than manually adding the description in the HTML view of FrontPage was the simplyest way possible to make the site appear properly on my 800*600 px resolution I used then. Of course, I upgraded my hardware and software since then, but the site remained mostly unchanged (except the index and a few files). I know it's time for a new version of the site but... my web-design knowledges are limited to basic HTML.
