First try resetting the type tool from the drop-down menu.

If that doesn’t help, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.

This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.

If the problem is still there, start looking for a bad font.

Take out 250 fonts. See if the problem goes away. If it does, then you know the bad font is in them. Load the other fonts back in small batches (10-12) and test after each one.

If the first 250 fonts does not solve the problem, take out most of the other 250 … leave only the basic fonts that came with the system. Then load the others in 10-12 at a time, testing after each.

Free fonts are not always free. Sometimes you have to spend a lot of time to make sure they are good fonts.

rather than that, keep splitting 50/50 good for bad. the search will go quicker… (unless you’re lucky and happen to hit it right away! 🙂 )
