What is the size of the text?
What is the leading?
what is the ppi of the file?
The size of text varies, it has ahppened at 50 pt, 150 pt and higher.
The kerning is auto.
The ppi is 100.
The problem also persists if we change work stations. It is like the problem goes with the document.
What is the leading not kerning?
look at the settings after you click on the text are they what you think they should be?
check the ppi of the file has it changed somehow?
Leading is normal, nothing stand out there. One thing that stands out is the color box in the charactor window, when I select the layer there is a color in the color box, but when I click on the text with the text tool a question mark appears in the color box. The text remains hidden until I click on the color box and change the color, then it reappears until I click on the text with the text tool again, then we are back to where we started.
Have you tried trashing your Photoshop Prefs.?
Yes. Prefs have been trashed.
Try selecting the Type with the Type tool; and changing the color swatch in the Options Bar; hitting Enter; and then resaving the file. Perhaps even Saving As to a new name?
Or is there a problem with the font itself? Does it work with a different font?
Sounds like you have pretty large type in a small area, is it just too big to fit the text area when in the default (replacement) font? If it is only disappearing at large sizes that would be normal behaviour in a text *area* as opposed to a plain text layer….If a character wont fit in the text area, the whole line of text will disappear.
Try double clicking on the text icon in the layers palette and command-a and shrink the font size and see if it reappears.
Don’t know about the question mark though, unless you have multiple colours in the text and you are selecting it all.
Afternoon Ann,
Thanks for all the response, I really appreciate it.
We have tried different fonts and the same happens with all faces, it seems like this problem occurs at a certain time in the design process, we are trying to replicate the instance when it does occur. We have also moved all the elements into a now PS document and saved the file, that has appeared to work so far, the text in the original file disappears when we click on it.
