EDIT: Solved, thank you :D

I hate asking questions here, because I feel like I should know these things, but... a question about text. This one I seriously cannot figure out.

I'm trying to add text to this icon:.

I did the icon as I normally do, duplicated the layer, made a plane black border around the edges. I went to add text, though, and... well, it's hard to explain. The text that I typed was TINY. Like, size 3 or smaller, even when I had it set to size 18, or 36. I changed fonts, but nothing changed, and the fonts worked normally on other images. I tried flattening all layers, and nothing changed. I tried copying the entire image and pasting it into a new image, and nothing changed. It wasn't until I raised the text to 300 that it became big enough to read. This happened on another icon (the one I'm posting with this entry, actually), where I tried to use text and couldn't, and ended up using a brush instead.

Can someone please tell me what I stupidly did wrong, cause I'm sure it's something totally easy.

(I'm using PSCS, sorry!)
