Issue with adding Fonts

[Coffee Man]

For some reason starting today, when I add content text to anything in PS, it is always being stretched!  Can anyone please help me.

Thank you so much

Hi

You need to provide more detailed information, what exact version of Photoshop and operating system do you have, can you post a screenshot with all the pertinent panels opened

[Coffee Man]

I have PS 20.0.7.  I use Windows,

I meant a screenshot of Photoshop, like this

Hi

Check the character panel.

If the space between the letters is stretched check value in 1 below. If the letters themselves are stretched , check value in 2.

You could try resetting the type tool

Thanks for trying, but nothing has worked.  Here is a screenshot.  Thanks so very much. this is so frustrating...

I just downloaded the font you are using and the default value for spacing is set to 1000, just lower the value as suggested by Dave

I guess I'm not that smart because I can't figure how to do that with my screen.  Can you please explain it to me in lament terms.  Please and thank you.

Open up the character panel from the Window menu

Double click on the type layers thumbnail to highlight the text

Adjust the spacing value as required

It worked.....Hurray... Thank everyone so much for the help and for working with me.
