I too encountered this problem… but to my surprise no answers till now. The problem lies with the computer that we are using see the new and improved cs3 needs about 1.83 gigs of ram if our computer is not meeting this requirment the program will still run but we will encounter issues like this one about text or brushes, filters, etc etc. The solution is to upgrade the system to at least 2 gigs of ram. Hope this as sme help to you let me know
I don’t think so. I’ve got 1G mem but encountered the problem as well. After I use the file given by MasterBlaster. It didn’t work at the beginning and It made the AE and PR not work either. I reinstall the AE and PR with adobe common files. AE and PR recovered and PS text engine works. I think it’s a bug but there is no more good solution until now.
Certain fonts can cause the whole CS3 suite to crash upon load.
I particularly found a font called matriculaespañola (MESPREG.TTF) which caused all cs3 programs to crash before loading.
Guess you have to be careful which fonts you install. Try not to install too many fonts at once, and test Photoshop for loading and for the text engine after every installment of fonts to make sure they are all compatible.
I thought I had some virus and had to reformat my computer before I realized this was what was happening.

wise words! obviously someone else who’s learned that from experience.
First remove all of the fonts that were installed by Photoshop. These fonts will all bare the date that you installed PS. You can do this by simple dragging them out of your fonts folder (Windows) into another folder. Then (I did all of this w/o restarting PS) place some text in an image – everything should work fine. Next, copy all of the fonts back into the fonts directory. Select the text that you place previously and then click in the drop-down box that allows you to select the font. Keep pressing your down arrow until you receive the error message again. When you get the error message you have discovered the problem font. Remove it from your fonts directory and you will be good to go.
i tried Matt Rupp’s method, but it didn’t work for me. check every font, from start to bottom, none of it is working. How weird? Another thing is that i open the PS without doing anying, after a while the PF usage ran up to 2 GB, the whole computer is lacking. could some one pls help? It’s urgent..thx !
I just wanted to add that my computer didn’t have the Install new fonts folder, and it didn’t have any new fonts installed today (the day I have had to reinstall the programs), so I created a new folder on my desktop and moved all the fonts from the windows/fonts folder to that folder. For some reason about ten of them stayed. Then I tested Photoshop and it was fixed. So then I moved them back again and the problem seems to be fixed. Very strange.
excuse my language reading above all folks.. was kind of drunk…as i m calling myself drunk did the following to fix this error.. note tht i hve like 2000 fonts ..how the hell am i supposed to find out which F****N font is causing this issue?????..excuse my lang.

What I discovered was that if you first disable the font preview in Preferences -> Type, then re-enable it and then open up the font menu, you should see the preview loading from top to bottom.
Keep chasing the latest preview and then it should freeze at the trouble-maker. Hopefully the actual font file in the Font folder will have a similar name to the one in the menu, and you just need to move it to the desktop, then reload Photoshop to see if the font preview loads fine.
