Photoshop CS3, G5 PowerMac Dual 2GHz w/ 7GB RAM
A weird Photoshop problem: using the type tool, I can only produce type in large-and-small-caps, as opposed to upper and lower case. I can’t generate any lowercase text. I’ve tried all the usual diagnostic tools: trashing the prefs seemed to work at first, but it’s destructive of other stuff I don’t want to lose, and anyway the problem came back after a while. I tried the Phantom User, and learned that the problem is tied to my User Identity, i.e., the problem doesn’t exist in other User identities, but how do I make use of that information? I considered migrating to a new user identity, but I would have to go through every single appliciation, blah blah blah. So: does anybody have a quick, elegant solution to this, or is this a problem that has suddenly cropped up elsewhere? I’m not crippled by it, thanks to Illustrator CS3, but it’s a convenience that I miss. And how do I trash the PS prefs without losing my brush tool presets?
