Font Problem in Photoshop CS / CS2

I am a seasoned pro when it comes to Photoshop, but I have run into a
strange problem. I am working on a project that was developed in
Photoshop 6.0. I was sent a .psd file, and when I open it in CS I get
the message:

"Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used
for vector base output. Do you want to update these layers now?"

If I choose to update, all my text layers shift out of place... A LOT!
If I do not choose to update, the text layers have the error symbol on
them and states:

"Font is present on system but requires a layout change" and the
layer is unusable. And if I double click, the same thing happens...
usable, but in the shifted out of place. I believe they were created in
text boxes, maybe this is a problem.

It's not like this is some crazy font, its Arial. In fact, I
requested the person that created the original .psd file send me his
Arial font(s). and then I went even further and deleted the
adobent*.lst files so CS would have to rebuild the font set.

Nothing worked... is this just an issue between versions? As anyone had
this problem? Is there any work around other then downgrading to PS
6.0?

Thanks for the time,

Scotty

Man, are you serious??? That's a real bummer. I cannot just move the
font because it is used for a web page and other pages use the same
text. The likelihood of me lining up the text to the current pages is
slim to none. If I am just a pixel off, you will see the text shift in
the navigation as you hit new pages, not acceptable.

Hmmm... I guess I will have to downgrade to a previous version.

Thanks for replying.

That is probably your best bet. Adobe did a pretty good job improving the
text engine, but they could have done more to automate the process of
adjusting the older files. Good luck.

Couldn't you use Transform to move the text to precisely the correct
pixel coordinate? And in doing that make an action of it that you could
run in batch on all the files? Just a suggestion.
