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.

How to: Fix Adobe Photoshop CS6 Text Engine Error - YouTube

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.

Solution
Close Photoshop, clear the font cache, and restart.
Exit Photoshop.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to the Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC/CT Font Cache folder.
Move these two files to the Recycle Bin:
AdobeFnt_CMaps.lst
AdobeFnt_OSFonts.lst
Empty the Recycle Bin.
Restart Photoshop.

This issue can occur after you uninstall and reinstall Photoshop several times.
Text Engine error using type tool in Photoshop CC | Windows 8

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.

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.

Text tool in photoshop CS5 will not work. I get a message that something prevented the text engine from initializing.

The information on this page (Mail (Yosemite): Delete messages) doesn't work for me:
"Tip: To prevent the next message from being automatically selected (and marked as read), hold down the Option key when you delete a message."
The next message still opens up.
Anyone know what to do here?

Is there a way to prevent the text tone from playing over the speaker while in a call?

I have a custom tone for incoming text messages. When I am in a call, whether it be the handset, speaker or bluetooth, and I receive a text, the text tone plays loudly over the call, and is extremely annoying for me and the other party. It would be nice if it could just give a short quiet vibe while in a call. Please don't tell me change my text notification to vibrate. That is not a solution, I want my text tone to work, except when I'm in a call. If possible I would still like some notification, just something less intrusive. The next best thing would be to just silence it altogether when a call is in progress. Also switching the side button while in a call is not a solution as that defeats the purpose of hands-free, and also is difficult with some protective cases, Thanks in advance.

How I prevent the batting linestyle from being lost when opening an Autocad file in Illustrator?

I have worked out how to open Autocad files in Illustrator, but Illustrator does not obviously recognise the batting linestyle I have used for insulation and it only appears as a straight line. Is there any where to preserve the batting line when opening the file in Illustrator?

If a linestyle is not coming over, I would assign a unique color in CAD. This way you can select similar color in Illustrator, and change them easily in Illustrator.

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the original file name being replaced during the downloading process?

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the file name being changed during this downloading process?

Hi Glenyse,
Here are my steps.
1. I upload multiple image (jpg) files onto my photo album.
2. I select the "sharing" by email option for this album.
3. I enter the recipient's email address.
4. The recipient receives my message and clicks on the link.
5. The recipient accesses my photo album and clicks on one of the images.
6. The image opens up to its own screen.
7. The recipient selects the "download" and then save file option.
Here is the part I do not understand. For some reason, during this "download" process, the original name which I have given to the file is replaced by different name. So I was hoping that someone knows how to prevent the file name from being changed during the "download and save" process.
Much appreciated if you can help me find a solution to this problem.

How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend a LOT of money
on DRM protection.

An error prevented the view from loading

I'm using SQL Server 2012 Express and I'm building a report with one table. I dragged and dropped two data set elements into the table that has two columns (Product Name and Product Description). Both the dataset elements have
a data type of varchar (50) in SQL Server 2012 Express. The table with those two elements is the only data I have in Design view. When I click on Preview, the Preview screen states 'An error prevented the view from loading.'. This is difficult
to diagnose, because in the Error List there are '0 Errors', '0 Warnings', and '0 Messages'. I would like help understanding if there is another error log I can observe to understand the issue, or if there are basic SQL Server 2012 Express Reporting
Services debugging techniques. Please help. Thank you,
Additionally, when I run the query in SQL Server 2012 Express and Reporting Services Query Designer the query results are correct.
Also, when I click the start debugging button, the report displays and I can export it to pdf, however the Previous still displays the error.

Well, funny stuff. I shut the solution down yesterday, then I booted my computer today and started the solution AND JUST LIKE MAGIC....it works. I can't explain it. Persistence pays, that's the answer sometimes.

I am on a MAC Application.
It has been rejected by following reason.
This app does not check for the existence of a purchase receipt, which can prevent In-App Purchases from being correctly processed.
We recommend implementing receipt validation to resolve this issue.
At a minimum, the app will need to check for the existence of an App Store receipt and exit at launch with a status of 173 if it does not exist.
Any help ?
Thanks in Advance.

Chart:: preventing the label of the Y axis from being overlapped

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to prevent the label of the Y axis from being overlapped by the axis tick labels.
My best guess would be to add some padding on its right to give some more room to the tick labels (as well as decreasing their font size).
But having looked at the "Styling chart with CSS" guide and at caspian.css, it seems there is no selector or particular styleclass defined for this label (same for the label of the X axis).
Any clue before I end up writing another Jira bug fix request?
Thanks
