Strange add text bug in Photoshop 8?

I've been adding English text to an Italian comic. This involves whiting out the original text and then inserting new (translated) text.

I keep encountering the same problem every time I alter a few pages. Namely, the font changes slightly. It does this without my making any changes to the character settings whatsoever. The only way I can correct the problem is to close the program and reopen it. Or, if that fails, which it often does, restart my pc. My OS is Windows XP Pro, by the way.

To illustrate what's happening, I've posted two comic pages. The first shows the font as it should be, the second as it shouldn't. Note the difference in the letter I.

Does anybody know how to stop this occurring?

Many thanks.

this is a mystrey to me. I've never encountered the problem myself. I think I'd start with a hunt for a duplicate of the font. PS on Windows gets it's fonts from 2 places; the system fonts ( c/windows/fonts) and (c/program files/common files/adobe/fonts) there could be 2 versions with the same name of that font. Although I doubt that this is the issue, it could be.
 
Thanks for replying.

I've already tried what you suggested, but the variant font is contained in the same file as the one I want to use, so they can't be separated. Normally, you would employ the variant, by clicking on the TT button in character options. But somehow it's being activated without any prompting from me. The font is a professional comic font, so it's a little more sophisticated than your run of the mill Windows fonts.

I have a terrible feeling that this problem is not going to be solved easily.
 
Are you 100% sure that you have not accidentaly uppercased or applied a formatting to the font? copy the text to a .txt file and compare or change the font to Arial, paste back, etc. Look carefully at your character palette. Remember that you may use caps lock to change the cursor, and forget that it is on
