Weird font problem - All font styles checked?

[volleybrian]

This is happening with a number of my fonts -- the text in my layer stays in one style no matter which style I try to select, and all the styles remain checked. What's going on?

Hello and welcome to PSG.

Select your Type Tool
Go to the "T" in the upper left hand corner of the tools options panel.
Right click and choose "reset tool".

If this does not work. Reset your preferences.

This is how to reset your preferences in Photoshop:
Press-and-hold Command-Option-Shift on a Mac or Ctrl-Alt-Shift on a PC, while you start Photoshop.
As you start the program you will get a pop-up dialog asking you if you would like to delete the settings file.
Choose yes.

Thanks Sam -- I just followed all those steps, and the situation is the same. So I deleted and reinstalled the font using Font Book (should have thought of that in the first place) and now everything is fine!
