Hey guys i work for a web design company and im new to photoshop. Im getting really good with it but now the program is wierd. Every time i make an image i want to put text on its fine, when i use the text tool everythink goes pink and the font is messed up. When im done i get the following ant line around the letters *the selection tool or what ever its called.

or as mark said, make sure you’re not typing in an image that’s in indexed color mode.

how many of this thread are there anyway? 🙂

If what you see are ‘pink blocks’ around each letter, this indicates that there is some kerning value or other modification to the type that does not exist within the font itself, as an example you may find that style field has the word "normal" or "semibold" in quotes which indicates that value does not exist.

Because Photoshop always starts with the last font selected if you had a font that had a "semi-bold" value, but changed to a font that did not have one, PS does not change the style value to one that exists for that font. I think this is where the problem may be.
