    Select the type tool with the T symbol.

    Use the scroll bar or highlight the present text name and use the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard.

    What font are you looking for. Elements uses whatever fonts are installed on your system.

    Are you perhaps using a laptop or netbook with a short display?

     

    Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.

     

    It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE requires a dpi of 96 or 100%

     

    Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% to 149% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) won’t. Sometimes the mouse or tool cursors are distorted.

     

    Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%. A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops, and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality. If your height resolution is out of the range 768 to 800 try experimenting with the slider/settings.

    The font size needs to be adjusted in relation to the resolution of the file.

    On the Text tool's option bar at the top, you are not limited to the presets in the drop-down. Highlight the current setting, then type in a higher value - try 110 pt, or 125 pt.- adjust to suit.
