Huge font problem with CS3.

I'm using Photoshop on my Macbook Pro - I'm running Leopard.

When I attempt to make a layer with fonts, the type is unacceptably small. As in you can't see it, even when the size is set to 72 at 100%.

I opened up a new document and made a type layer, which works just fine. Then I duplicated the layer to the image file I wanted the type on. It did appear - but it was at a ridiculous size like 2500.

What happened? I've never had a problem like this.

Sounds like your problem is just the opposite.

Change your PPI. It is probably set to some absurdly small number like 1-pixel-per-inch.

What about the Character Palette? What does it tell you?
