Can't Use Text in PSCS3: Text Engine Won't Initialize

Hi!
I just upgraded to Photoshop CS3 and have a baffling problem.
I am trying to create a new document with text, but whenever I grab the text tool and try to draw out where to put it I get this error message:
"Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
Any ideas what might cause this and how to fix it?

Deleting
AdobeFnt*.lst files is perfectly safe. All it does is removes catalogs of the font names used by applications. The fonts themselves aren't touched.
Just do a system-wide search for
adobefnt. There may be a number after
AdobeFnt and before the
.lst, or there may not be a number. You may safely delete all of them. They will rebuild themselves as needed.
Just make sure you don't delete files with a file suffix of
.db

Photoshop 5.5: Text Engine Won't Initialize

Just updated from 5 to 5.5 and now the Text Engine won't initialize. How do I fix it.

Boilerplate-text:
Is the OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, font validation, etc.)?

Text engine won't initialize PS CC 2014

I get the "could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initailized."
Have tried trashing font cache files, un-install, re-install. reset all tools. What else can I try?
I have PC Windows 7 Prof
i5-3570 CPU 3.40 GHz processor
8:00GB RAM
64 bit
All help appreciated!

Two other suggestions to consider if this fails:
Change font preview size
     1. Go to "type"
     2. select "Font preview size"
     3. select "none"
Delete system font cache
Close all Adobe applications including the Creative Cloud desktop app (if installed).
Navigate to \Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\Appdata\Local
Delete the *FNTCACHE*.DAT or *FontCache*.dat files.
NOTE: The asterisk (*) indicates various numbers, letters, or words, such as FontCache-S-1-5-21.dat or COFFfntCache.dat.

Subtitles can I use text from FCP?

Hey,
Can I use text I created in FCP and use it in DVD SP?
Also, if I have a feature film that needs translation, what should I ask for? I mean is there EDL or OMF kind of file that DVD SP need? a

If you create the subs in FCP then basically they would be like burnt in subs you get on some films (i.e. you can't switch them off because they are embedded in the film itself). However, as Chris says, if you want to create subtitles that DVD-SP can use then create them as an STL file - this is an external file withy timecode refernces for in and out points for the subtitles and the relevant text.
Belle Nuit Subtiler can be used to create subs for both DVD-SP and FCP I think
Not sure that there is any software that "extract" subs from an FCP project though...

Can't use text tool

I can't use text tool. Text is invisible. I tried all colors fonts and settings. Help me pls

The usual answer is that you have a huge document with a 72dpi resolution, and Type is set to points.
To test this go Preferences > Units & Rulers and set Type to mm (the default is points)
Now open the Image size dialog, turn off Resample and set the resolution to 300dpi
Now create some more text. If you still can't see anything, come back and we'll try something else.
Note: if your document size is _really_ huge, like 30,000 pixels, then that's the problem all by itself.

How can i use text only instead of text plus the folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar; older firefox allowed this.

I prefer using text only instead of text plus a folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar because it used less space and I can display more bookmark folders in that toolbar. Is that possible in Firefox 4.0? It was possible in the earlier versions of Firefox. If it is possible in Firefox 4.0 how do I do that? Thank you.

First install the "Stylish:" extension then you have thousands of styles available to choose from, most consist of only a few lines, and you can modify them to suit yourself.

Help! Can't use Text tool in Photoshop CS5

When I launched Photoshop this morning and opened a file containing text and an image, I got the following error message:
"The type layers in this document were rasterized because something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
When I created a new, empty Photoshop document and selected the Text tool, I got this error message:
"Could not complete your request because of a program error."
The Photoshop text tool is useless at the moment. I tried relaunching Photoshop and restarting my computer to no avail.
Nothing has changed in my Photoshop installation except that I recently installed FontExplorer X Pro on this computer and activated the Photoshop CS5 plugin that comes with the program. I have now uninstalled the plugin, but the Photoshop text tool still doesn't work.
Suggestions greatly appreciated. I need access to a fully-functional Photoshop ASAP. Thanks!

Since you're having the same problem with a different font manager installed, it looks like the problem may lie with Photoshop rather than the font management software. I'm going to file a bug report with Adobe.
Meanwhile, you might want to uninstall Photoshop CS5 (Utilities/Adobe Installers/Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium) and reinstall it from the original disc. You do not need to deactivate anything before doing this.

Can't use text tool for new text, only editing

I'm a new user, having converted from Pagemaker 6.5. After editing a converted file for several days, I opened today and could not get a cursor, in my text box. It makes a box only and leaves it there. I can edit existing text, and can cut and paste to the empty text box. This only happens in this file, not in oher documents.

Thanks again for your help. Yes , it was a PDF that was emailed to me that caused the problem. Once I deleted it everything printed. Then we scanned the pdf and it was fine. Now, my next challenge is getting the copy to print in black & white without the index showing and some other notations in a color. I tried color separations but in pagemaker, I could select non-printing items. I know there should be a simpler way. My document is supposed to be black & white when printed, but I put the index items and a year reference on each page in color. Thanks again in advance.

Can I use text edit to build a web page using html ?

I'm building a website for a class project and am using text edit with html. I have been successful creating a webpage, but everytime I save and reopen text edit, I am unable to continue working on my original project. Suggestion?

You have force TextEdit to append .html at the end of each new file, cause it insists on using .txt if plain or .rtf if fancy. And as for OPENING preexisting .html files, Safari will try and beat you to it. So you either have to control-click the victim and do an Open with... or drag and drop it onto TextEdit on the dock.
I'd suggest you get a proper HTML editor instead, unless your teacher is a sadist. The Mozilla Project's SeaMonkey browser has a very competent editor to use. And it allows you to upload the results directly without requiring further code.

How can I use text as a button?

I am looking to use text as a button or event trigger. I want to place the text over a picture and trigger an event if the user clicks the text, but I do not want to obstruct the picture with a button. I'd also like to be able to modify the text color depending on whether it has been selected by the use. Does anybosy know an easy way to do this?

The transparent color is the little [T] in the upper right corner of the color palette (see image).

Text engine won't initalize in CS5

I had no problems with CS5 until today. I downloaded a trial version of In Design. Now, the text engine in CS5 won't initialize. What can I do? I tried to call the phone support and he kept trying to sell me CS6. I got so frustrated I hung up!

Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall your CS5.

I have an iMac that has no connectivity with the mouse. I have replaced the batteries in the mouse. As a result, we can not use the computer as the mouse won't move

I have an iMac which the mouse has lost connectivity. Batteries on mouse have been replaced and green light on mouse is on.
I can now use the computer as it does not respond to mouse or it appears to the keyboard. Just not sure if it is a problem with the computer its self?
Thanks

I would highly recommend you run a test by trying another mouse with the iMac and see if that fixes it. That would tell you the problem is Not with the iMac itself.
Hope this helps
