My text tool cursor is wayyyyy too big and I don't know how to fix it. I would think it was just me, but my friend is having the same problem with their cursor right now too.
I can still use it..but it's just much harder to use--I have to carefully edit my text...but it's seriously inconvenient...
HELP!
#1
What's the resolution of your file?
What's the point size and leading on the text?
#2
Leading is set on automatic..so should be set for a 14 pt font. 72 dpi.--set for TV graphics...
#3
Seems some fonts, at least for me, especially the more "calligraphic" ones, generate a larger than life cursor, even tho I purposefully set the text and leading very very tiny...
#4
Should be 72 ppi..but IS it?
#5
Is the Baseline setting in the Character Palette set to something besides zero?
If not, change it to zero and see if that helps.
Check on a common font such as Helvetica.

I suspect this is what many of us have seen with certain older fonts. It isn't a baseline, typesize, or leading issue. Simply something odd built into the character sets of many of the fonts drawn in the early 1990s. I've moved to a lot of OpenType since then and so can't remember which ones. Wade Sans Light is one I still use that displays a comically long cursor extending well below the character baseline.

Try resetting your Type tool preferences:

Which font are you using? Some of the old Lettraset fonts generated huge cursors.

Yes. Letraset was one culprit....
