Mike,
Yes, CS will have problems with d/boxes if you use large fonts. The only fix is "don’t do that"
Hello
Why not? That is what I use.
Mike Engles
Why not, indeed?
Photoshop users are more apt to utilize higher screen resolution settings, which go hand in hand with the large fonts setting.
Properly designed software accommodate the large fonts option. PS7 has no problems in this regard.
Yet another reason to postpone the upgrade…

I think the problem Len was thinking about was with the actual installation screens. I seem to remember a couple of threads about wierd behavior that was attributed to low screen resolution and large fonts.

This is definitely a problem with several dialog boxes and has been discussed several times already. Hopefully Adobe will fix this in their first bug fix update.
I THINK one of the adobe guys addressed this right after the release and said they were going to look at doing font scaling so everything fit nice and… nice. 🙂
Hello
It is a problem with Version 7. I have no other application that has a problem to this degree. I cannot use the new Lens blur as I do not know what the buttons mean. The tool tips do not always show.

you CAN use it if you go back to smaller fonts. then hope for a fix in the .01 release. pain, i know. or go to smaller fonts. take a screen cap (or print it) then switch back to larger fonts. refer to the image when using the dialog w/larger fonts.
best i can do.
good luck.

ps, wait a minute. how do you have ‘large fonts’ set? in display properties? settings?
I have large fonts set in display proporties> Appearance (where you set your windows colors)> font size to Large and have no problems in cs.
he’s using cs mick (per the main post).

You are right there. I usually have it Large Fonts set in Display – Settings -Advanced. It is possible to set up most things to make them legible to my over40s longsighted eyes but I can’t set application fonts to compensate. Like this box I’m writing in now for example, the font is tiny compared to when I have large fonts set as above. Word, for another example, if I’m typing in size 12, it is tiny now. Do you know any way to modify this besides increasing the mag of the Word document (which is not a bad workaround really).
Dave – have a look at his post number 7. I guess I was being pedantic. Apologies. I’m off to bed. Ciao!

oh! didn’t think of it that way. 🙂 I took that to mean he also had a problem with it in 7 in OTHER dialogs, but it’s still a problem in CS, specifically with the Lens blur.

of, relating to, or being a pedant? or narrowly, stodgily, and often ostentatiously learned? %D
Apologies.
no need! my mistake! sorry!
I’m off to bed.

Ciao!
Peace out, yo. Word!
fecitiously,

Actually, that’s an excellent question.
Under XP, there is a "large fonts" setting under Display –> Appearance. However, those of us who used to use Large Fonts under, for example, Win98SE have discovered that the equivalent under XP is Display –> Settings –> Advanced –> Display @ Large Size (120DPI).
I don’t have CS, so I can’t tell you which of the two might be causing the problem.

Thanks Haron! 🙂

The one under settings> advanced is the problem. That’s always been ther (maybe in 95, definately in >= 98), they never listed it as dpi though, they used to just call it Small Fonts or Large fonts.
Grasshopper from this forum is the one who tipped me off to the Display> Appearance setting. I ALWAYS used to use the Display> Settings> advanced one and always had problems with it. Since putting that back to Normal and setting the Display> Appearance, I’m getting large(r) fonts but everything still fits in the text boxes. Must do scaling instead of changing the actual font itself. Or something like that.
For me a carryover from Win98 as well. The old way actually changes the screen resolution from 96 to 120 ppi (Microsoft say dpi -typical – but what do they know). The new way is definitely better except for the application font sizes and it now also screws up my Access database form window sizes.

All of those and more.
Hye, Mick, we know there’s a problem with some dialogs when Large Fonts are set. This is in both Photoshop 7 and Photoshop CS. There won’t be a short term solution, but it is something we are working on for the long term.
