P: PS v26 Type tool keeps resetting back to Myriad Pro 12pt [2024]

I want to SCREAM! I can have existing text in Impact. If I select it all and want to type a new word, it defaults to Myriad Pro. If I click in the MIDDLE of existing text that is Impact (or other fonts) and start typing, it doesn’t stay in Impact. It keeps going to freaking Myriad Pro. I have to type it all In Myriad Pro, then highlight it all and change to the font I want. Which is ALWAYS something other than Myriad Pro.

PS version 26.11.1 On MAC Sequoya 15.6.1 (24G90)

I'm in the latest public release and this keeps defaulting to Myriad Pro for me too, with or without that preference change. Very frustrating. (26.4.0) on MacOS 15.7.1

This has started happening to me on the latest version as of this writing. The setting in preferences does solve this for now, but it's a bit annoying. It's not even like a real font switch anyway. Entering the text box again correctly converts the font, so something is clearly wrong here.

This is still and issue as of October 2025 with the most recent Photoshop CC update (26.11). Turning off Enable Missing Glyph does seem to fix it in most situations, but its still aggressively annoying and I'm sure tearing some people's hair out.

Tenative Fix:

Menu > Edit > Preferences > Type > Enable Missing Glyph Protection (Off)

It's September of 2025 and it still an issue. 

It's August of 2025, and this is still an issue.

Hi everyone, I have seen all of the workarounds and fixes for this, but I haven't yet seen how to do it on my desktop Photoshop 26.9.0 version. Is there a workaround I can use for this on Mac please?

Thank you that seemed to solve things for now - weird?

No idea why but that seems to have fixed it!

Tentatively that seems to have solved it. I'll stay vigilent, but in the meantime [HIGH FIVE!]
