Photoshop CS6 text tool issue

Solved

Hello everyone!

Let me explain my problem: I updated to Photoshop CS6! But when I use the text tool, the text writes to the left while normally it writes to the right..
I never had this problem in CS5! I reinstalled it, etc. but it's still the same.

I assume there's a setting that needs to be changed but I don't know which one..

Thanks in advance to those who can help me (:

Configuration: Windows 7 / Safari 535.19

    By default with Photoshop CS6, when typing text, it is written from right to left instead of left to right. (Ex: if you type 10/01 you get 01/10)

    To write in the correct direction, go to Edit - Preferences - Type...
    Set the Text Engine options to East Asia instead of Middle Eastern.
    Restart Photoshop.

      Thank you, it worked for me, BUT... when I add punctuation at the end of the sentence, a period for example, the period automatically ends up at the beginning. Like this sentence:

      ? But what the hell is this

      I’ve looked through the options but I can’t find anything. It's strange, it feels like an Arabic language version...

      I finally found out how to fix my problem.
      (My font settings were set to an Arabic script.)

      You need to edit the "Paragraph Style":

      Menu "Text" > Sub-menu "Panels" > "Paragraph Style Panels"

      Then you need to edit the "Basic Paragraph" by double-clicking on it, then:

      Tab "Formats: Basic Characters" > "Font Family"

      If the font family is set to Adobe Arabic, you need to change it to another one like Arial for example.

      You will then get a new style called "Paragraph Style 1".

      Then just open a new document to work... and there you go!
