@Bob at IndigoHealth Thank you for the posting the issue.   You are correct by saying that "before the Adobe Creative Cloud magic has had time to activate all my fonts, the fonts that are not yet activated don't exist yet."   After adding fonts from Adobe Fonts using "More fonts" tab in Font Browser, you can use them in Photoshop immediately, but it sometimes takes time to complete background tasks for adding fonts for subsequent use. This process depends mostly on the server condition and cannot be controlled by Photoshop. The fonts added exist within the current Photoshop session. If you quit and restart Photoshop, there is no guarantee the the fonts are immediately available. They will be available eventually though.   When you assign favorites to the fonts you recently added, before quitting Photoshop, please make sure all the background tasks involved in adding fonts are completed. To do this, open Adobe Creative Cloud application, and click "f" icon near the top right corner of the application. It will show all the fonts added with which background tasks have been completed.   If you do not see the fonts you recently added, the background tasks to adding them have not been completed. It may take some time to complete all the tasks. You still can use the fonts in Photoshop, but assigning favorites will not be persisted over quitting and restarting Photoshop application. Keep Photoshop running till you see the fonts listed in Adobe Creative Cloud application. ... View more

@michael_kay_  I suggest you upgrade Photoshop to the latest version 25.9. The preference is available in the version. If you want to stay with 25.7, follow the instruction I posted previously. The copy is below. --- Photoshop 24.7 or later calculates the default font size based on document resolution and zoom factor.  To disable this feature and return to the legacy behavior, set "DefaultFontSize 0" in PSUserConfig.txt. Please read: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/enable-optional-extensions-photoshop-cc.html#defaultfontsize Then, scroll up to the top of page to see how you can set up PSUserConfig.txt file. --- ...

This issue has most likely been fixed in recent Photoshop releases. Try the latest 25.0. It has many new features and bug fixes. I hope you like it, but if you don't like it, you can go back to 24.0 either by keeping old version when installing 25.0 (advanced option) or by selecting "Other versions" in the three dots icon menu at the end of the application line in All apps tab in Creative Cloud Desktop in case the installer deleted the 24.0 when installing 25.0.    If you still see the issue with Photoshop 25.0, please let me know the font name that has the issue. ...

@RobAo The default for the digit setting is "LTR Arabic." The setting is sticky however. You might have opened a document with a type layer set the digit to Farsi of Hindi. If you selected the layer and create new type layer, the digit setting was inherited. So, as I mentioned in the above, the command "Reset Character" is useful when you find unexpected behavior in text editing. ... View more

@kimp43562527 This will be fixed in the next release. As a workaround, set the placeholder text on at Preferences > Type > "Fill new type layers with placeholder text." With this setting, font attributes are preserved. When you create new type layer, the placeholder text "Lorem ipusm..." is entered and selected. So, you just start typing. It will overwrite the placeholder text. Please try.   ... View more

@Nikky26171419b5y2  Since you have so many layers in a group, let's make sure none of the layers are locked. Select a group in Layers panel. Open the context menu (hamburger menu) and select "Lock All Layers in Group..." (Don't use keyboard shortcut Cmd+/) You will see a dialog. Make sure none of the checkboxes are checked. Click OK. This will unlock all layers in the group. Then try Cmd+T. ... View more

Yes, this is because Photoshop used to use "Latin and East Asian Layout" as a default composer in 2021 or arlier vesions, and switched to use Unified Text Engine (Wrold-Ready Layout) in 2022 or later versions. ... View more
