    i was trying to make a sig yesterday and went to use the type tool. I made a box put it on size 72 and typed, but the words werent there. On closr inspection i found the cursor and it did move when i typed, but it was incredibly small for size 72 and the words were not behind it. Could anyone help me. I dont know if i have accidentily prressed some setting but nothing I do seems to help.

    You should specify which program you're using.

    It would be so much easier if every member of the graphics section put "I am a GIMP/Photoshop/Etc user" in his status block.

    Are you sure its the top most layer?

    If its under another layer, it won't show.

    also check the layer mode, if it's set to something other then normal it might not show up

    its the top layer its just that the font is always extemely small no matter what size i want. EDIT i figured it out. something was screwed up with the size of the document so that a 72 pixel letter is really small and it only looks normal if it is 1296 pixels.
