Text Tool Wont Allow Different Fonts PSE10

Hi,
I'm using Photoshop Elements 10 for Windows and am using the ''Text Tool''. I want to use Chinese text Instead of English. But after changing to the desired font and setting the start point, when I start to type it always types in English! The desired font does not change. It allows nothing but the default font to type. What is the problem? How can I fix it?
Thank you

Your input language in Windows is set to "English", as is the keyboard layout. Use Control Panel...Regions and Languages to allow input as Chinese.

Character styles that accommodate different fonts?

I suspect this is hopeless, but I thought I'd ask in case anyone has a great idea I can't think of.
I use a basic formatting script that runs through a newly placed text file and makes a series of typographical corrections -- getting rid of double spaces, etc. One of the things it does is to apply a character style "Italic" to certain phrases, like i.e., et al., and so forth.
Then I go through and apply the correct paragraph to the text elements. The problem is that certain text elements are in different fonts, for instance, the figure captions are in Univers. When I apply the paragraph style, the items tagged as "Italic" become undefined, because in Univers the italic is called "57 Oblique."
Can anyone think of a way to apply italics to a phrase in such a way that when you change the font, it doesn't become undefined?
Thanks...

Alas -- no. It's this way, or No way.
When I have to use a font combo that doesn't allow a single Italics style, I generally go with 'standard' italics for the main text. If ID complains about a "[Univers Italic]" because that seems to be used in a Univers heading or caption, I create a new style "univers italic" (no use in beating around the bush!) and search for the font "[Univers Italic]", replacing it with the new style -- ID allows searching for non-existent fonts.
You might think, "but you use the Ctrl+Shf+I shortcut for both fonts to get the italic style", and you might be right. Then again, if Adobe implemented something like that by putting an "I" checkbox (and "B" for bold!) in the Styles panel, it'd get harder to defend their 'no-faux fonts' policy -- and I, for one, am certainly not suggesting they should.

Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated.

Any documents created within 10.6 and printed/saved as a pdf file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool activated allowing selection of text and copy/paste or text highlight actions made.
Using OSX 10.6.7 Preview application using the File > Import from Scanner (Epson V500 scanner), the scanned document cannot activate the Text Tool. Only the Move and Select tools cans be selected, activated and used. It's as if Preview's document scanned image using Format-PDF, the scans appear to be an image scan of the text/document into a PDF file and not using OCR to allow a Text Edit.
I can scan a printed document using Acrobat and my Epson scanner and the text tool within Acrobat or Adobe Reader works fine.
Is this a shortcoming within Preview using Format-PDF that the Text tool cannot be activated or used on Preview scanned documents containing text? If so why is Preview's text tool even offered?
If Text Tool can be used on a Preview scanned document…How ? Please!

After further research I have been able to answer my own question regarding-
"Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated."
In Apples Mac 101 Support article entitled: "Using a scanner (Mac 10.6) last modified on March 15, 2011, states: "Item 6. Click Scan to scan. Note: The scanned items will become JPEG images with 300 dpi"
So there it is…Any item (or printed document) scanned under Preview using the selected Format-PDF will be scanned as a JPEG image.
That' s why the Text Tool cannot be activated, it's not being scanned as text but as an image.
If a document is created within the computer via Pages, Text Edit, Word etc. and saved using the "Print-PDF-Save asPDF" file option, the already digitized text is saved within the PDF file and can then the PDF file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool will be available for use to copy/paste or highlight.

Text Tool Drop-Down Font Menu can't be opened in PSE 9 & 10.

Hi all, in PSE 9 and 10 I can't get the Font Drop-Down Menu to work. It is stuck on one Font. When I hit the drop-down arrow there is a flash of the menu but it wont stay on screen so as to allow me to make a selection of a different Font. How do I correct this problem? TIA, Ed Weidman

You need to use the optimizer to set the version you want the pdf to be saved as.

Touch-up Text Tool and Fonts

We are on Windows 7, Office 2007 and Acrobat 9. We have recently discovered that when you pdf a Word document, open within Acrobat, then try to use the Touch-Up Text Tool, it changes the kerning/character spacing of the text upon saving. The only fix we have found for this is within Word, choose Acrobat Preferences, under Advanced Settings, click on Fonts, and REMOVE the fonts from "Never Embed Fonts" pane. You need to ensure that any font that is in the Word document is removed from this area. This seems odd to me. Can anyone enlighten me on this? See below screen shots of text spacing changes as well as Font Menu.

It is a good practice to embed fonts if Touch Up Text is a tool you often use.
Is the person creating the pdf the person who is editing the created pdf? If not, my guess based on the exclusion list in your post is that the users have different versions of the Arial font installed. There are small, but significant, differences in kerning and line height between different Arial versions.

Text tool fonts flickering

Hi. I have Photoshop CS6 running on Windows 7 Professional. I seem to be having a problem with my fonts when using the text tool. This doesn't happen all of the time, but it does hapen occasionally. When I chose the text tool and want to change the text I have written, the font option and other menus around it, flicker and do not allow me to make any changes. All I can do is either accept the phone default, or to save my work, close the program and open it again. When I do the latter, it seems to solve the problem. Any info is appreciated. Matthew

Text tool not working in photoshop CC, all I can see are small boxes event with giant font

Hi there,
I am not sure what is going on here. I cannot get the Text to show up using the Text tool. All I can see are tiny boxes even made the font 60 points. SHould be huge. Been happening for more than a week and I ran an update via the cloud just last night. Did not fix it yet. Ideas?

I find Points are not the most predictable unit to use for text, and p[refer a linear size like inches or mm. Have a look at your image size. If it has a very high pixel size, together with a low dpi (72) then that would give you what you are seeing. If your image size is 4 inches by 8 inches, then regardless of what the dpi is, if you used inches instead of points for text sizing, then you would know to expect 2 inch text to be one quarter the hieght of your document.
Does that make sense?

Is it possible to create different font styles within the same text field?

The form I am creating is getting really complex because when different fields require different font treatments (bold, italic, different font size, different font) I have to create a seperate text box and get it to align with the others. This wouldn't be an issue in most cases but this form is really detailed and has many text boxes. Before I stuggle too much longer on it, I thought I would check and see if there is a way to make them all in the same text field. If not, perhaps I am trying to use Acrobat for something it is not meant for. Any recommendations on other programs I could use? Thanks

Thank you try76. I'm not sure if I did it correctly. As soon as I tick the Rich Text Formatting box it automatically changes the appearance of the text in the field (Helvetica Light to something like Helvetica Heavy) I can't seem to get the font back to Helvetica light or change the font size while the Rich Text Formatting box is ticked.

Apply different font styles in single text frame

hi all
how can i apply different font styles in a single text frame using indesign script ?
for example :
"dasdnasndasndlasndnasdlasdasdas"
may i know is it possible to do that and how to do that ?
thanks

You can set (as well as read) every single property of any text range with scripts. This is javascript; it assumes you text cursor is inside a frame with some text.
* Setting some specific characters to a color:
app.selection[0].parentStory.characters.itemByRange(5,10).fillColor = "Red";
* Change the font of words:
app.selection[0].parentStory.words[3].appliedFont = "Arial\tBold";
* .. or just the style:
app.selection[0].parentStory.lines[2].fontStyle = "Italic";
* .. or any other attribute (this one requires you to have at least 5 characters selected):
app.selection[0].characters[5].underline = true;
Of course these operations are not limited to something you select; they work the same with any text frames you can refer to.
app.activeDocument.textFrames[1].paragraphs[2].appliedCharacterStyle = "charstyle";

The font of text marker insertion is different from before

A strange behaviour from a while: the default font of text marker insertion is different from before. I don't remember what font was before, but surely not the one of now.
I think it's probably due to "firefox" installation (it has caused also a system preferences modification I discovered with a lot of trouble...)
Anyway, how I can restore the "old" default font of marker text insertion?
(the problem occurs only on insertion because in arrange the usual font view is maintained)

its hard to work out what your problem exactly is. can you give more details? why is the text marker font important? do you mean how it displays in the text marker editor?

Bullet Using Different Font than Body Text

I would like to have a bullet that uses a different font than the body text. Say, for text I use Verdana, and for the bullet I would like to use a glyph from Zapf Dingbats. I seem to not be able to figure out how to set this up -- the bullet always uses the same font as the text.
Thanks for your help.
-- Stefan

If you Option-Click on the bullet character, you can select it on its own, separate from the body text. You can then apply whatever font you want, and in the Text Inspector, in the Bullets palette, you can type whatever character you want in the Text Bullets field. (If you want this character for all of your bullets, it would be easiest to do this editing on the slide masters, rather than the individual slides.)

Photoshop wont let me use the text tool HELP

Hi there, would you be able to post a screencap of your workspace, including your layers panel? That may help us figure out what's going wrong.
You may also try resetting your preferences by following the methods outlined in the video below. That will generally fix any buggy tools.

Use 2 different fonts in a dynamic text field with tf.htmlText?

i've got a dynamic text field on the screen and all of my
fonts embedded. is it possible to use 2 different fonts when
dynamically setting the fields text with the htmlText property?
i've tried the <font> and the <textformat> tags and
neither work. I can set it once via a texformat object, but that's
it.
thanks

you're answering all of my questions today aren't you? :)
right, i think this will be hard since my data is all comming
from XML and i have no way to specifically set text ranges as
different fonts within a string.
i've told the developers to just use images for the special
characters.
