Weird letter spacing in PSE13....

[lorigaud]

All of a sudden I have a weird spacing issue, with the letters way too far apart. I have tried googling, but other than installing a script, which seems way too confusing for this non-techie person, I haven't found a solution yet. Anyone ever dealt with this issue?

Try this.
Have a text layer active. Then on the task bar [above the work space and below the menu]...look to the far right and click on the toggle and character panel. In it [right side and a T- it will say horizontal scale. Check to see IF somehow that number is bigger than 100.
Crossing fingers for you it is something simple.

Nope, couldn't figure it out. Ended up finding the answer in a PSE forum... tried just resetting the text tool, but of course that didn't work. Then had to open PSE, go to preferences, click the button to reset my preferences on next launch, and finally it worked. Back to normal!
