Photoshop Text Line Spacing and Number/Symbols moving

[danryan86]

My line spacing is all out of whack. Even with .01 px the text is still way to far apart. Also, when I type a number it goes to then end of the line, even though I type it in the beginning. And if I add and exclamation point or question mark at the end of my sentence it moves to the end. This is new can this be fixed?

Hi

The first thing to check is the Paragraph panel to see if there is space before and/or space after that's been set.

Second: has the text ever been scaled with the Transform command? That messes things up.

For the numbers issue, check in Preferences > Type to see if it's set to Middle Eastern or East Asian.

That was the issue. There was a 50 pt space at the beginning of the paragraph. Thank you!

You're welcome, @danryan86 , I'm glad it was a quick fix 😊 Typical leading is typesize plus two (as Gutenberg did), but that's just a starting point.
