Question

Please help me with this font problem.

I have recently downloaded some new fonts and i think i may have attracted a bug in the systems. I am using Photoshop and are trying to make smooth text with "create contemporary path". it worked plenty of times for just a few days ago, but when i am trying to do it today it just shows me this when i press the "create contemporary path": 

which is in norwegian and translates into: "Could not complete Create temporary path-command because the type layer uses a false bold style." And it says so with every font, even those who was there from the start.

 

How do i fix this?

 

I have tried to uninstall and re-install PS but that did not work.

 

I also use windows, if that helps to know.

 

Much appreciative for aid with this issue.

Turn off Faux Bold in the Character panel:

John, you have gone all Doctor Who on us, and metamorphosed into a postage stamp. One more metamorphic symbiosis regeneration and you might turn into a female!

Not only that, but my user name has a weird addendum. I've been wanting to change my user name to my real one, and using a headshot instead of a chihuahua, but I'm waiting for the dust to settle with the new forum software.
