Good ya got it fixed hardrock.

But although in your case it 'appeared' that PS was turning on the faux bold option 'by default', i don't think this is the case for everyone.

I haven't had this problem myself, and have never seen the option automatically ticked when using any type.

Here's a thought...

You MAY have ticked it on at some point yourself, and had your PS preferences set to "remember" your last program settings 'upon closing'. So, ever time after that that you opened the app that specific option would have been remembered, and set to the state it was last used at.

A long shot, but just a thought. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

PS: Beth, PS5.5 doesn't have the new PS6 text effects, so no, it most likely wouldn't suffer from this glitch.

Mark...
