Hi Dinah,

This font issue was a problem in 19.0.1, but it should have been resolved at 19.1.

For a frame of reference, versions in order with CC 2018:

• 19.0.1 (contained this font size real-time updates issue)
• 19.1 (contained the fix for this issue)
• 19.1.1 
• 19.1.2
• 19.1.3 (current version)  

If you were running the current version before going back to CC 2017 I find it curious that you were still seeing this problem.

That said, if for some reason you decide you want to use a feature that was new to CC 2018, I would be happy to help troubleshoot why you were seeing an issue that should have been fixed 4 updates ago.

In the meanwhile, if you are happy using CC 2017 that works too.

Thanks!
Hannah

I'm now with the very latest CC 2018 version and I thought I was having eye/sight problems so went to Specsavers to upgrade my glasses. Tests proved my sight was as good as before.

Tried the other tips given - a) increase font size via computer settings and b) PS>Edit>Preferences>Interface>Large...well I was already on 'Large!! >UI Scaling>200 and WOooa HUUUUge result.....bla bl bla..

Lond story short, I have taken Hannah Nicollet advice and gone back to PS 2017 and can now read the type.

Just so as ADOBE knows, us oldie darlings past 65-plus years of age are just as brain smart operating PS, LR etc even though our eyesight mayn't be so good. 

Glad also to see even the younger generation complaining about this ridiculous mini font size.

hahaha that's awesome! Seriously you made my day.

I added the post in the Problems section. Though this link says, "feedback" so, it's obvious I have no idea what I am doing.

I also threw your name around like we're best friends. JK

Hi Erik,

I'm so glad to hear the font issue is resolved for you!

Thanks for detailing your struggle with the installer. I wasn't seeing the update on my personal computer either so I get it! (All I needed was a restart though - I didn't have to go to all the trouble you did). If you feel like making a post just for trouble with the installer (as in you could just copy and paste what you've written here about installation and create a thread just related to installation), it would be good to compile the installer accounts in one place so it could be submitted as a separate issue.

Regards,
Hannah

Hi Hannah,

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I missed it. I added new spam filter and just noticed all the responses here were being dumped into it.

I had trouble installing the latest update at first. When I clicked the Update Button, I was not being prompted, as show in your images, with the option to select "advanced." When I hit, update. It just starts updating. So, what I did, was try to find the presets folder of the older version I was using. I hand copied all of them to a new folder and then ran the update.

The update got to about 92 percent then stopped with the excuse that the folder already existed. Figured it was just a glitch in the Matrix so I tried again. Same result. It suggested I delete the folder. Well the that folder was in parent folder titled "butler" and my PC wouldn't even let me into it. I went into full out of control mode and attempted to the delete the butler folder but I was then told the folder doesn't exist.

I figured, well, problem solved then. I tried to install the latest version and it worked! I loaded up PS, tested the font size area using my scroll wheel and it worked just fine! Oh and all my presets, came along with for the ride so I didn't have to manually import them. Thank you! Thanks for all the time that you have put into this thread.

I cannot stress enough how horrible losing that feature made my life. It's sad, such a small change caused such a loss in productivity, it was insanely frustrating. I am thrilled it's fixed. Again, thank you.

Hi Denny,

"When I click to the link "New", this is new: update for a function, which automatically select striking objects; support for high resolution monitors and more improvements and bug fixes."

Those are all new for this release, so yep that's the one! 🙂

Thanks,
Hannah

hallelujah!!

19.0.1 shows 19.0.0 because they forget increment number
19.1.0 has fixed text preview
