Somethings wrong, I got a really cool pixel font that looks great at size 8 all the time, but suddenly, today I go to use it and at size it I need a telescope to read it, its SO tiny, and its like this with every sing font, I have to make it size 36+ to make it readable, I reinstalled PS, i deleted the folder and all registry, and it just wont fix, I am in windows, this has never happened before, I checked all font settings, reseted my palletes or w/e and its still messed. As for the brushes, they apear as tiny dots then show up normal size. Anyone know whats wrong?

check the ppi (resolution) setting in image> image size. make sure it’s not something like 1 or 7000!

72 is default (for screen/web) work. 200-300 for print.

not by default. besides, for web work ppi is meaningless. it’s the pixel dimentions that count. the ppi is only for scaling your fonts when doing screen work. sooner or later you have to rasterize them before putting the image on the web.
