Win7 photoshop cs4 font size

I've recently, reluctantly, transferred to Win7. Fonts, rulers, screen images etc. within Photoshop CS4 (and Dreamweaver) are drastically reduced. Rulers and site fonts are about the size of a mouse's toe nails - thus VERY hard to read. While searching for a fix I've noted this complaint on several sites and read there was no fix because Adobe refuses to comply with Win7 standards. Does anyone know if this is true? If not how do I adjust sizes? There is nothing in preferences that addresses the problem and Adobe "help" is not much of a........

It's so bad that for my web design work (in Dreamweaver - which displays the same problems as Photoshop) I use the XP because the Win7 drive doesn't display the layout properly.
I'm not crazy about the concept of paying every month for someone else's storage (cloud) when I have my own servers and my own tech guy to handle them. I have the peace of mind knowing my servers are secure at all times.
You might like the Creative Cloud concept. You download the software to your computers and your files are stored on your local PC or network. Cloud storage is free, and a good idea if you need to share projects with other CC users outside your business.
The difference is that instead of a serial number, you pay a monthly fee and simply sign in with your Adobe ID. $50 monthly for all CS/CC software. Mac or PC, latest features and updates piped in. Access to Typekit fonts and more.
As a business owner you rent many things, and I'm sure those other bills are more than the CC subscription.

Photoshop CC: Font size bug

I have been working on a project today and suddenly I cannot change the font size anymore.
If I select the text layer with the move tool and double click the layer in order to edit the text I cannot change the size of the font by pressing the up and down arrow keys. The only way to get this to work, is to select the text layer using the text tool, select all the text and then use the arrow keys.
It has worked earlier today, so something must have caused this bug to happen. Can it be some fonts that I have installed?
I have tried to restart my computer, I have reset all warning dialogs, I have reset the fonts in the font book to the default ones, I have reset the tools in Photoshop CC.
Nothing works!
Any ideas?

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.

Photoshop CS3 Font Size

OK, I've searched the knowledgebase, scanned this forum, did a Google, etc...
When I try to enter type on a Photoshop CS3 doc, the text is humongous. If I set the font size down to 6pt it still is over 200 pixels high. Anything over 20pt is taller than my monitor.
I never installed the beta CS3, did have CS2 prior to upgrading.
It used to work fine.
Any ideas?
PS CS3 10.0.1
Vista
3 gb memory

I stumbled into the cause. Something is resetting my image resolution to 2822.222. If I create a new document, it defaults to Clipboard at 2822.222 instead of Web or Photo at 72.
How do I reset the default? I change it, open a new document, save it and the New document goes back to Clipboard.
In preferences I have 300 for Print, 72 for Screen set as default.

Photoshop CS3 font size of "label" and "description" of printed file

How do you change and manage the font size of the "label" and "description" ( "file" > "file info" > "description")that you can opt to have printed above and below your photo?
After typing in the "description" via "file info", you click on "print" and check off the "label" and "description" options.
I'm using a Dell PC and an Epson CX3810.
My instructor says that he's not been able to find out how to manage the font option.
Thanks

As a messy workaround you could put a simple string indicator ("classic Controls") on every tab over the page labels and change the text style/size etc. to your liking. Trouble is - the bound of the string indicator resizes while increasing the size of the text. As "size to text" doesn't work here maybe you can get the appropriate size from somewhere else. Document Bounds is not it, as I just found out. Possibly you should just use a free label, but I don't know whether their text is settable at runtime and their background can be altered.
However - I think, you get the idea. Maybe it's worth 30 min testing...

Photoshop CS4 Extended, issues with resolution and font sizes on Mac

I have Photoshop CS4 Extended, which worked fine on my old 15 inch Macbook Pro, I think it was 2011 and had high definition display.
I now have a new 15 inch 'late 2013' Macbook Pro with retina display (2880 x 1800), and OS 10.9.4
I have 2 problems:
1) Using photoshop now, the resolution is a lot worse than with my old computer, even though my screen is higher resolution.
For example, the images themselves are worse resolution on my display, far less crisp and more pixelated than any of my other programs. And even the windows such as 'save as...' screens are terribly pixelated also. Is there a way to fix this?
2) When using the type tool, I cannot find how to change the size of the font. There used to be numbers which I could change, and also select the font type, both on the top menu bar always visible. Now there is not anymore. What there is there at the top, is what looks to be a bar on top of another bar. The top layer bar is on the left and reaches about one third of the way across the top, and I can drag it by its corner so it can extend more, but not less. It looks like there are things behind it which I cannot see, because it is over the top of them. Perhaps the text size and font options are stuck behind that. What can I do?
Many thanks!
Justin

Hi JJMack, you said "Seems like you want a low resolution display hook and external display to it." I do not know what that means. I did a google search for "low resolution display hook" and it came up with zero results. Also I do not have an external display, only my laptop.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue? I would greatly appreciate any solution.
Thank you!

Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. I will have to reduce the screen density when I work with those programs.
Thanks for your trouble and regards

Font size of menu/toolbar in Photoshop & Adobe Bridge CS4?

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.

Missing Fonts in Photoshop CS4

I opened an existing CS2 photoshop file in CS4 and I get a missing font error. The font that it can't find is on my system.
How do I "add" this font so PS can see it?
Thanks.

Yeah, I hear ya. But this seems to be a big complaint with 64 bit systems. And since all fonts show up and work fine in all other programs... seems like another adobe bug to me.
If you want to be a bit specific, Arial has 10 types. Only two show up. Regular and bold. And I'm not alone with this problem.
This was a bug (from what I read) in office 2007. But I never used 2007. However it wasn't a problem in office 2003 nor is it with my current version of 2010. As I said, no problems whatsoever with anything except... photoshop cs4 64. (works fine in 32 bit vista)
Now, FWIW, I haven't played much with font directories in the past, but it seems win7 is putting them into their own... kind of "folder". (could be wrong)
That is, in arials case, for instance, they aren't spread out. As... arial normal, black, bold, etc. They seem to be all lumped in to one. Click on it and they all open for display and are all there but I don't remember them that way in older windows progs.
But as I said, everything is fine in notepad, wordpad, excel, word, etc. etc. etc. A corrupt font is one thing, but I can't see a corrupt font working in everything but one program. And they DO work in dreamweaver.
Ok... update. As I said, tried putting them (the arials) in the adobe font directory (which I said was empty). Nothing. Tried again and it duplicated them. Still nothing. Went in and dumped the duplicates... seems to be working.
So, problem kinda solved. Just no clue why.
I need a drink and a few excedrins.

Photoshop CC Tracking, Kerning, font size MESSED UP

The Photoshop CC Tracking, Kerning, font size is MESSED UP.
If you try to adjust anything by scrubbing it makes a huge number like 40000....
holding ALT doesn't help either... Need a fix for this fast!

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I'm experiencing an issue that is different, but may be related. It is with the same area in Photoshop CC, but the bug I'm getting is a little different:
I don't have to scrub, I can just type a number like 50 for tracking, and when I hit enter, it changes to 11. 100 changes to 23. 200 changes to 47. If I scrub, I can scrub to a super high number like 6876, and when I release the mouse, it changes to 262. Scrubbing to 336 changes to 12 upon release.
coincidentally, typing in 6876 and 336 gives me results of 1650 and 80 respectively - so apparently when I type in a number it changes to approximately a quarter of its value, but not exactly, where as scrubbing gives me around 1/26th or 1/28th the value. The values given are consistent each time when I type in a number. 200 tracking always converts to 47 for some reason - I don't know about scrubbing..
This started without resizing the text. I just used the T tool. Typed some characters, and then tried adjusting the tracking.
When scrubbing other settings like Font Size and Leading I get this same effect where it jumps down to a much lower number than set. If I manually type in a font size, it works appropriately.
This happened in CS6 and CC. I don't recall what I was working on in the past when this occurred, but today when it started, I am working in Adobe CC on a file that had been created in CS4 or 5, I believe. When I create a new Adobe CC document, I do not experience the issue immediately, but I don't know exactly what the trigger is for the bug.

Photoshop CS4 randomly changing font...

I'm baffled by this one. I created a new text layer and chose MT Resolution Classic Tight as the font. I entered one word, entered a space and the continued typing. However, everything after that space was in Minion Pro. I had to select all of the text and change it back to MT Resolution. This is happening no matter what font I choose. I could start with something like Arial, enter a space after the first word I type, and then the rest of the entered text is in some other random font. There seems to be no logic to it. I've been using PS for years, and CS4 for at least a year, and this problem has never come up before.
I can't even begin to imagine what is going wrong. Help?
(Photoshop CS4 Extended 11.0.1 32-bit, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit)

How many fonts do you have installed?
Do a search for and delete all instances of adobefnt*.lst (that extension is .LST).
And if a broken or corrupted font is causing problems there is no alternative in the long run to tracking it down and deleting it.

Why is it photoshop CS4 worked flawlessly with my fonts in Snow Leopard, but are making CS6 crash in

I transferred all of the fonts starting with 'A' into font book and all of them had either a yellow or red dot next to them. They all worked fine in photoshop CS4. What gives? Will Adobe fix this and make them compatable? I have a fortune invested in fonts I'm not about to toss. What are Adobe and Apple going to do about this? Who's issue is it really? I am not the only one having his issue.
Thank you for any input.

And what fonts exactly? If you're using fonts from the stone age this may be unavoidable. Beyond that a single "bad" font can drag down Adobe apps, which does not necessarily have to be the one you use currently. It's mere existance and PS stumbling over it when populating the fonts list would be enough... The rest is in the details, but as always, start by removing all your fonts and adding them only back on an "as needed" basis. and if you realyl have that many fonts, using a font manager might be advisable to keep lists neat and tidy...

Error of Photoshop CS4 after the installation of the font.

b OS : Vista 32bit sp1
b Photoshop Version : CS4
In CS3 version, the program worked well after the addition of the font in Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts folder.
But in CS4, no fonts folder exists in Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/ folder.
So I created fonts folder and added the fonts, and then I run photoshop.
After all,
The program did not work with error I want to know how to recognize the fonts without the procedure(the installation of fonts) as CS3 version.
Please...

Thanks.
But after the deletion of files, the problem did not solve.
I deleted Adobefnt11.lst file in three folders as your advice.
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Adobe\Fonts
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Adobe\TypeSupport
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Adobe\TypeSupport\CMaps
But after the deletion of files, the problem did not solve.
I searched Photoshop CS4 manual of Adobe.com and found that it was written that it could access if the fonts were added in Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Font folder. However it doesn't work in mine.
Why it(errors and end of photoshop by force) happens? I don't know.
My OS system is vista. Can't be the installation of fonts(Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Font) used in vista?
