Font in File Info dialog

[Kevi...@adobeforums.com]

How do I change the font used in the PS CS4 "File Info" dialog? The type on my Vista 64 machine is unreadable. All of the menus and everything else are okay; it's just this one dialog box. It's hard to keyword images.

The same dialog box on my Windows XP laptop looks fine, and I don't know why my desktop is using a different (inferior) font.

Thanks!

Hello Kevin,

We do not support changing font in the dialog.
Could you please send me a screenshot? My email address is iri...@adobe.com.

Thanks a lot!

Or, post it here and keep the topic public, a much appreciated road to solutions on this forum, I'm lead to understand.

Could you please also check whether the following Windows fonts are present on your system:

1)Segoe UI;
2)Tahoma.

Thanks!

Not sure why my other reply didn't get posted, so I'll try again (my apologies if it's duplicated).

I don't have a host available to hotlink the screenshot so all can see. I sent the screen capture directly to Irina.

I DO have both Segoe UI (in four different weights) and Tahoma installed.

For anyone else who's interested, the font in my File Info dialog appears to be a decorative face, somewhat like Hypatia, that's barely readable at the small size used in the dialog box. Descenders on letters like "g" are cut off. Hyphens are barely visible.

And this appears to be the only dialog box in Photoshop CS4 where this typeface appears.

Thanks,
Kevin

Try setting your WinXP font smoothing to ClearType.

Start > Control Panel > Display > Appearance > Effects.

Hi Kevin,

is this still an issue? Was anyone else able to reproduce this?
The screenshot looks realy strange. The (i) icon has no color at all and the tabs at the top are not seperated. I don't think that this has something to do with the font. Did the font smoothing fix the issue?

Thanks,

Hi Samy -

I'm using Vista-64, and the Clear Type (font smoothing) settings don't appear to make any difference at all.

Thanks for your help.
