Title: Photoshop File Info Dialog box
Post by: SGdragon372 on December 20, 2011, 01:13:54 PM

How can I change the font in my Photoshop File Info dialog box? It is showing Curlz which is extremely hard to read. It wasn't always like this, so I don't know what I did to change it, but really want to change it back to something like helvetica. Thanks

It's probably nothing to do with Photoshop, specifically.  More likely it's caused by a (Windows) theme.  What O/S and version are you using?

the Info dialog is actually a hosted Shockwave Flash "movie". Knowing that it is really Flash Player, we can google the issue for flash player, and we discover that many people have had this issue (That is, font corruption) and that a common fix is to update the video drivers, or disable the hardware acceleration for Flash Player. While you are at it, make sure you have Tahoma or Segoe UI installed. (on Windows).
