Something Preventing Text Engine from being initialized

Just starting with Photoshop CS6 and trying to enter text. Getting the following error message:
"Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
Saw this error listed in 2008 on CS3. Does it look like the same thing? Any ideas?

Hi. Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

  • Error: prevented the text engine from being initialized

    I am getting the following error when attempting to use the text tool with my photoshop (12.0) - windows 7.
    "could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized"
    I've attempted to follow some posts from others to fix without success.
    There are two fonts in my fonts folder that are shortcuts - and the fonts don't exist in the folder. Also, I can't delete the shortcut font from the fonts folder.
    (I'm posting this now... and might have a solution. Just in case, I want this conversation started.)
    TIA,
    Greg

    Usually that means that you have a corrupt font or a corrupt OS font cache.
    See this document for more troubleshooting steps: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html
    Also, make sure you have all the Photoshop updates installed.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 - "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialised".

    This problem has just started, only with CC 2014. It doesn't happen with CC or CS6.
    When I open a particular layered file, then Duplicate it, then close the original Master file I get the "text engine" warning box when I try to enter text in the copy file.
    If I enter text in the original Master file - no problem.
    If the Master file is still open and I try to enter text in the copy file  - no problem.
    I've validated all my fonts in Font Book, deleting all the duplicates and one corrupt font. No change to problem.
    I've gone to User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC2014/ and trashed the CT Font Cache folder. No change to problem.
    I've run PS Update.
    Running OS 10.9.3.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same issue on my work computer. I found this info in Adobe's help section.

    AdobeFnt_OSFonts.lst
    Empty the Recycle Bin.
    Restart Photoshop.

  • Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being installed

    This keeps appearing. I tried to uninstall and redowload and it still keeps happening.

    Most likely you have some corrupt fonts installed.
    Try validating the fonts using FontBook to find the most obvious problems.

  • How do prevent HTML snippets from being listed on search engines?

    I just created a new website using iWeb 3.0.1. On a couple of my pages I embedded flash music players and video players using the HTML Snippet widget. I did a quick search of my website on google and noticed that the HTML widgets were showing in the results as separate pages. I then clicked on these HTML Snippet pages and up came the widget on a separate page by itself. How do I prevent search engines from listing any HTML Snippets on my iWeb site as separate pages?
    Thanks
    athafran

    Paste this in the HTML Snippet.
    In the <body> ... </body> part you paste the code you currently use for your Snippet.
    I haven't tried it, the noindex part, but the code itself is accepted by iWeb.
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

    Safari will not prevent search engine from providing suggestions, even though that block is checked in Privacy preferences.

    I also seem to have having this problem, despite having checked the "prevent" option in Preferences. Typing words into the Safari search bar (NOT the Google search bar on one of Google's search pages) leads to suggestions being made:
    as well as connections being made to lhr14s21-in-f7.1e100.net:

  • Office 365 AAD Password Writeback not working; Event Viewer Error: 0x80230619 (A restriction prevents the password from being changed to the current one specified.)

    Hello all,
    I'm currently setting up a Proof Of Concept setup with directory synchronisation and password syncing to Office 365, leveraging AAD Premium for the password reset and password writeback to on premises
    AD functionality. Directory Sync + Password Sync is working flawlessly with the AADSync tool. However, upon requesting a password reset for a user, I'm hitting a password writeback error. The webpage states that the password does not meet the password
    complexity policy, while it does. I can set that particular password for that account at the on premises AD without any problem.
    In the event viewer at the AADSync server, I'm seeing this Error pop up whenever I try to reset the password:
    An unexpected error has occurred during a password set operation.  "BAIL: MMS(4032): ..\server.cpp(11003): 0x80230619 (A restriction prevents the password from being changed
    to the current one specified.) Azure AD Sync 1.0.0475.1202"
    My Setup:
    Windows Server 2012 AD with a single forest
    Seperate domain joined Windows Server 2012 for AADSync tool
    AADSync version 1.0.0475.1202 with options password sync, password writeback enabled
    Service account for AADSync tool with Replicating Directory Changes and Replicating Directory Changes All permissions
    on root AD forest structure with inheritance to all objects. This account also has the permissions to Change Password and Reset Password on all descendant
    User Objects.
    AAD Premium for my office 365 tenant
    AAD Premium licenses for the test users and the office 365 account used to sync to Office 365. This account is also Global Admin.
    Could anyone help me with this? Is there something I’m missing here? My guess is that the AAD is not trusted or the service account for AADSync tool does not have the proper permissions. I’ve tried
    many options, like setting the AADSync Service account to Enterprise Admin or granting the service account Full Control over that particular user.

    Concerning my issue:
    The Default Group Policy setting: Minimum Password Age is set at 1 day. As I was testing this feature with new users, their provisioned passwords were less than 24 hours old and the Minimum Password Age of 1 prevented the change of the password.
    After changing this to 0 days in the Default Group Policy, my password resets started working for newly created users. While this might not have affected existing users in production, it had me looking and searching for permission issues on my AD.
    So for those that might be experiencing ADSync Event ID 6329 and PasswordResetService Event ID 33008 Errors when trying to do a Password Reset using AAD Premium with Password Writeback, it might be helpful to check the applied password policy.
    The issue is solved.

    You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
    (1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
    (2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
    (3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
    (4) Add some SARE rules:
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
    70sareadult.cf
    70saregenlsubj0.cf
    70sareheader0.cf
    70sarehtml0.cf
    70sareobfu0.cf
    70sareoem.cf
    70sarespoof.cf
    70sarestocks.cf
    70sareunsub.cf
    72sare_redirectpost
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
    backhair.cf
    bogus-virus-warnings.cf
    chickenpox.cf
    weeds.cf
    Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
    Then stop and restart mail services.
    There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

  • How to lockdown and prevent add-ons from being installed?

    Hi. I'd like to lockdown an installation of Firefox on a Win XP computer, to prevent add-ons from being installed by limited account users. How do I accomplish this please?

    Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
    Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
    lockPref("xpinstall.enabled", false);

  • Preventing expired batch from being sold

    Currently in one of our client's setup, I can select expired batch from the list of items. Is there a way to prevent expired items from being selected when creating sales order (VA01) or, if the user can select the expired item, at least display an error or warning message?

    Hi,
    Do try making the batch in resticted use in change batch basic data1 tab,activate radio button of batch status for Batch restr.
    It makes
    Batch in Restricted-Use Stock
    Specifies that the batch is included in restricted-use stock.
    Use
    If, though a batch has the status "restricted", you want to use a goods movement to post a quantity to unrestricted-use stock, the quantity is posted to restricted-use stock and not to unrestricted-use stock.
    If the status of a batch is set to restricted, the total unrestricted-use stock is transferred to restricted-use stock by means of a transfer posting. A material document is created.
    You cannot change the status of a batch (unrestricted/restricted) in a goods movement, only with the following functions:
    by maintaining the batch master record manually
    using the control function provided in the QM system
    Configurations for Restricted-Use Stock
    For planning purposes, restricted-use stock is treated like blocked stock, that is, it is either available or not available, depending on your system configuration.
    Withdrawals from restricted-use stock are either possible or not possible, depending on your system configuration.
    The status of a batch can be considered in batch determination, that is, you can search for unrestricted or for restricted batches.

  • Prevent OST file from being excluded from workstation backups

    Is there a way to prevent OST files from being excluded from client/workstation backups in WS2012E?
    Thanks,
    Reg
    This is especially a problem for clients that have migrated to Office 365 exchange service as they have no local backup of emails that were deleted and think synced with Office 365.
    Reginald Hook

    OST files are not a local backup, they are a cache of what is in the mailbox.
