'Regular' font looks different in PSE

[judithglazier]

Hi everyone - I am using PSE 8.

I have installed a new font and I only have 'regular' style.

When I use this font in (eg) Microsoft Office it looks fine.

When I use it in PSE there are all sorts of flourishes that render it largely illegible.

See screenshots.

I don't appear to have any options to change - any insight?

Many thanks in advance

Jude

The checkerboard pattern surrounding the text denotes transparency. When you use the type tool, the text comes in on a separate layer. Now, you can engage the Move tool and position the text where you desire.

Thank you hatstead but the flourishes are part of the text and as such moving the text takes them with it.

1. Open picture file
2. Open the Layers palette (Window menu>check Layers)
3. Type the text
4. Right click on the layer with the text in the layers palette, and simplify the layer
5. Engage the move tool and drag the text or use the arrow keys on the keyboard

thank you again hatstead but this didn't get rid of the flourishes..? Are you suggesting that I now erase the bits I don't want?

No, I did not suggest this. The checkerboard pattern will not print or display. This is what your layers palette should look like if you followed the instructions.

Thanks but it's not the checkerboard pattern I am trying to get rid of. The fonts themselves look different.
