Illustrator text issue

[ne1ner]

Hi all,

I'm having an issue in Illustrator that when I enlarge the size of my font it just turns into a big blob. For example if the font size is small and I type a word its fine, but as soon as I try to make the font bigger to say like 80pt its like everything joins together and turns into one blob. Anyone have any ideas? I'm trying to reset the program to defaults to see if it helps.

Thanks

How are you making the font bigger?
Are you using a stroke/outline color?

...i think jconingham is right, make sure you are using the character palette to adjust your type attributes...
