View 6 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Text Free Transform Sizing
Feb 7, 2013First off I'm using Photoshop CS6 on a 2010 iMac.
I open a blank file and type "ABC" in any font at at size (but for sake of ease lets say 72 pts in Myriad Pro). I then do a free transform (while holding shift to keep the size correctly scaled) and either enlarg or shrink the text. At that point if I try and change the text point size through the Character panel back to 72 points it sizes to the original size I set the free transform too, or lets say I try to increse the size to 100 pts, it gives me some random size that is not 100 pts. So regarless if I enter the size to 72 points, hit enter, the text will no longer be 72 points.
I run into this issue often because I like to eyeball my text sizes when I'm doing a project and Free Transform is perfect for this. But if I have several text blocks of the same size and I change the size of one and need to match the others to the new size, this issue make matching them very difficult and frustrating.
I know I can fix it by clicking "Character Reset" via the Character panel and then choose my desired font size but that takes time and I don't understand why photoshop wouldn't just give me the font size I choose regarless of free transform or not. Is there a way around this? Is this some setting of Photoshop that I can simply bypas, or is it a glitch with the new CS6 (I do not remember having this issue with CS5)?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Text Sizing And Line Spacing?
Jul 14, 2011I recently purchased Graphics Suite X5 and find I'm having difficulty in getting an accurate sizing to my text height. When I set the text height to be 3" and then start typing, the letter height comes back to me around 2 1/8". I did find another place to set the height but that is only after I finish my lettering. How to resolve this so I don't re-invent the wheel each time I set the lettering to my designs?
I am also having some difficulty with line spacing. I need line space in inches and the software seems to be set on a pt setting with no way to change it to inches.

Jan 8, 2014I have some text blocks in Illustrator CS 6 that display the red plus sign that indicates overset text but there is no overset text. It occurs in files that were created with earlier versions of Illustator and now we are reworking them. It can't be deleted. I have cut the text in the box and pasted it into a new text box to no avail. It is not a screen artifact. I have tried copying everything in the file and pasting it into a new file and the little red plus sign comes along. It doesn't print, of course.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Notify Of Overset Text / Unexpanded Text Box In CS5?
Dec 16, 2012I work for a company where we deal with Illustrator CS5 pretty extensively, and one of the things we do most often is place text on certain art documents. We've been having issues lately (human error) where we've been missing that we have more text in a text box and we're forgetting to expand it. Obviously the easy answer is to keep a keen eye out for the little red plus sign and expand the text box as needed, but any script or a clever way to have Illustrator notify us that there's overset text or an unexpanded text box present in the documents we're working on? It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just anything that somehow notifies us of that little red plus sign being present.
I know there's a script out there that will expand a text box if there's overset text and you have that textbox selected, but if I already have the textbox selected I'm fairly sure I'm aware of the overset text.

Dec 12, 2013I wrote the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog" in Times New Roman regular 12 pt. in Illustrator CS2. The file was saved as a pdf at "press quality." I wrote the same sentence with the exact some font in InCopy CS2 and exported it as a pdf at press quality. As shown in a zoomed-in screenshot from the respective pdfs, the text from Illustrator (top example below) is slightly different than the text from InCopy (bottom example below):
Is it just an unavoidable artifact of the way pdfs are rendered? I realize it's a minor gripe, but even slight bugs/features like this would never be tolerated in a professional publishing environment. What am I not understanding about vector images and/or pdfs?

Illustrator :: Can't Paste Text Nor Paths And Text
Feb 22, 2014I have a layer with some paths and lines of text. I copied some of the paths and text and tried to paste in another layer or document; the paths are not pasted and all the text becomes a single line. When I copied only the paths, it is pasted correctly. If I copied only the text and tried to paste in another layer or document, all the text becomes a single line.
If I drag the selection from one layer to another using the panel, it works. If I drag the selection from the artboard to another document, it works. But these operations sometimes are not convenient. What I would like is to copy the items, target a layer in another document and paste there. With a large document with dozens of layers and a lot of text the drag and drop solution is not feasible.
Illustrator :: Transforming Text Box - Text Gets Scaled Up And Down
Oct 21, 2010I use illustrator CS4, lately i ve trouble transforming the text box. its not the usual. The text gets scaled up and down. and shrinks .. see the image u 'll understand..
Text in the right side is the original text. I used the text tool , created a text box and pasted the content. After that i clicked the selection tool.. then , free transform. (short cut ;e')
When i transformed the text box, the text inside gets shrinked. Normally, the text content aligns itself within the new box without change in the font size. something is new now.. the text shrinks or expands now..

Jan 16, 2013I have been using illustrator since cs2. And since then i have been troubling with the texts which created in another program. Mostly Microsoft Word.
After converting .doc to .pdf, texts get seperated.
You can see what i mean from the screen shot. As you see all dots on left hand side are seperated and the text which seperated by space button also becomes different text boxs. I moved the texts on the 4th line to point it out. Is there a tool or trick to build the words in to a single text sentence or paragraph? I imagine a tool like shape builder. I need this badly because i have plenty of pages to fix.
