Kerning issue with Century Gothic in PhotShop
I need to use Century Gothic as a display face for some web layouts I'm putting together and am having some real issues with the kerning in PhotoShop. It work's perectly well when I set the same copy in Illustrator or InDesign. have tried all the various setting in the Character palette that normally control this (optical, metric, 0 etc) and nothing seems to be helping.
This is the first of hundreds of pages I need to prepare in PhotoShop for this project so really don't want to have to individually track each title.
Anyone come across this issue before.

Could you switch to Avant Garde? Kerning issues are certainly not the only ones with Century Gothic.

It looks like it was a glitch. I created another text box and it worked perfectly. Any clues to what might have caused it though? Was driving me mad for a little while there, and I've been designing websites in PhotoShop for 7 odd years ;-)

Anti-alias? Zoom level?

All normal. The file has been shared and edited by a few users, so all I can think of is that one of those users had some weird setting or a messed up version of the Century installed?

Doesn't Photoshop have an optical kern feature? I'd think that might help.

I had that setting selected and it was still looking like the image above. This is what was freaking me out. I think it was a bug, as once I retyped the copy it was fine.

Oh! Weird. So at first typing it is wonky, but then you re-type it and it is fine? That smells like a bug to me.
