Illustrator crashes when selecting a font

I just got a MB Pro retina and used Time Machine to restore all of my docs and apps to my new LT. Now when I open Illustrator and try to select a font in the character menu, it crashes. How can I solve this problem?

InDesign CC crashes when selecting text

Hello folks!
I have a serious issue here on my Windows 7 64bit notebook:
InDesign CC (and also CS6 before) keep crashing when selecting text.
I was still on CS6 when this failure appeared first. The strange thing is, it happens not always. When InDesign is opened new it will not crash instantly (most times). After some selecting random text a few times InDesign will crash with the well known "InDesign doesn't work anymore" message. There seems no pattern while selecting text (like special characters, certain fonts, whatever).
Tried to use CC – no luck! still crashing.
After some research in the forum I read, that this is very rare issue only occuring if there are more than 1 Windows accounts with both InDesign running. Indeed I made new account shortly before the first time this happened.
But sadly even after I completely wiped the second account, all my InDesigns (CS5, CS6, CC), all prefs, and also all fonts (as recommend in a thread with people havong trouble with just the type-tool itself) and all registry thingies the problem remains. Why?
Please help, it really kills the productivity.
Thanks in advance for everything!

Well, wonky extension seems like a good idea, but can be withdrawed because I haven't installed one.
The font issue is also equally probable. As already mentioned: The interesting aspect here is, that both InDesign CS6 and CC will crash. It happened the first time when Windows decided to blue screen and f*** up my account (I wasn't able to log in anymore, I had to made a new one). I once read in another thread that there is a problem occuring when having multiple Windows accounts with InDesign running. Re-installing InDesign didn't help. Font problem after all?
I have installed at the moment:
MainType
NexusFont
Typograf
and some small others, like: dp4 Font Viewer or FontViewOk

Illustrator crashes when I try to open it

Illustrator crashes when I try to open it.

I've been experiencing this issue too. I run CC on OS 10.6.8 with Extensis Fusion 4. I discovered Fusion 4 is not compatible with CC and have since upgraded to Fusion 5. Illustrator was still crashing, but I found in the forums that the Verdana font had to be activated in the System folder. I tried to install it there, but couldn't figure out how to do that, so I just activated it in the Font Library. After that, Illustrator opened.
You can find out more about this by doing a search for "Illustrator CC crash at launch" in the forum sections.

Illustrator crashes when I attempt to launch

Hello,
Illustrator crashes when I attempt to launch.
any solution?

Hi All,
If AI CC 2014 is crashing on launch, then please send me the crash logs at [email protected] including the link of the Forum Thread where your post is listed.
For WIN please create a DMP file using the Task Manager (Right Click on the Adobe Illustrator CC and select the option Create Dump File) when AI displays the crash dialog. Please send this to me using any free File sharing websites and do not use the mail to send me this file as the size is more than 600MB.

Why does Illustrator crash when saving to a new location on my new MacPro 13" Retina Pro running Yosemite?

That won't do. What I mean is you have to navigate to the file and make it active in pastebin and then copy the highlighted line like this
and paste that into your reply.

Photoshop CS6 crashes when selecting tools

Hi, I'm having the same problem as a few other members (Photoshop CS6 occasionally crashes when selecting tools) and have updated the driver on my HD5770 card to the latest version (8.961.0.0) as this is the recommended fix. Unfortunately this hasn't fixed the problem.
Here is the error report from the most recent crash.
This is very irritating as I inevitably lose some of my work when the application crashes.
What else do you suggest as a fix?
Steve

I installed 12.3 and restarted my computer. This did not solve the problem.
I've reinstalled Photoshop twice as well with no developments.
Then, I found this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4289204
My card (Radeon X 1300 / X 1550) is not listed in the "Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6" section.
If I go to Edit->Preferences->Performance, and mouse-over the "Graphics Processor Settings" section, it says "Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry".
Is there any way around this?

Illustrator crashes when using save as and changing the save location yosemite OS

I am having a problem with illustrator crashing when using save as to save a file to another location than the one it was previously saved in. It will save to the same location just fine but on macbook pro with yosemite os it crashes immediately when i change the save location. Tried reinstall and also tried other users and still does it. Any solutions?

Hi Parisian tiger
What happens when you try to open any file from the same location where you are saving the file using Save As command ?
Will it be possible to join a connect session with me ?
Please do let me know about your time availability ?

JVM crashes when selecting non-default printer in ReportViewer in NATIVE dialog.

On ReportViewer frame i have the print button active. If i click the print button (Native dialog) and select a printer other than default printer, the JVM crashes. Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks

I wanted to provide little history of what I am trying to achieve. Currently, I have the following code:
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        if (printJob.printDialog()) {
            String printerName = printJob.getPrintService().getName();
            String printJobName = printJob.getJobName();
            PrintReportOptions printOptions = redirectPrinter(printerName, printJobName);
            sendReportOutputAndClose(reportClientDoc, printOptions);
I want to capture the number of copies user selects from the dialog. When I do printJob.getCopies(), it always returns 1. Not sure how to get that # of copies user selected. I also wanted to the dialog to be in Native mode because I don't want to give access to modify Margins and other page properties which are part of COMMON dialog mode. If I create the dialog printJobAttribute.setDialog(JobAttributes.DialogType.NATIVE); then VM crashes when selecting a non-default printer but I am able to get the number of copies. The key is I need to use NATIVE dialog and get the number of copies. One option is to display in COMMON dialog mode and then hide the "Page Setup" and "Appearance" tabs. Can this be done ? I am new to Java and Crystal so any suggestions would help.

Elements 13 crashes when selecting Print

Elements13 crashes when selecting Print from the File menu.
Rebuilding the Preferences file will bring the Print menus back, but only temporarily.
No error message, Windows advises the program must be shut down.
Win 7, 16GB RAM, Elements 6 on the same computer works fine.

Hi ,
You are going through File menu > Print or File menu > Order Prints .
Meanwhile go to Edit menu > Preferences >> Adobe partner services .
Click "Refresh Button"

JVM crashes when selecting a CLOB in a OracleCallableStatement

Hi all:
We have a lot of places in our codebase where we "batch" a no. of
selects using the OracleCallableStatement for better performance (i.e.
save multiple roundtrips to the db). Recently we upgraded to Oracle
8.1.7 and converted the LONG column in one of our tables to CLOB. Once
we did that, every place in the system where we use a "batch" select
(using refcursor) the JVM crashes (no stack trace, just the infamous Dr.
Watson on NT and SIGBUS SEGV on Solaris)
We are running wl510 sp10 , driver is weblogic oci (oci817_8).
Here is a sample code
cstmt = (OracleCallableStatement)con.prepareCall(
"BEGIN \n"
+ " OPEN ? FOR SELECT A, B, C FROM TAB1 where ..;\n"
+ " OPEN ? FOR SELECT X, Y, Z FROM TAB2 where ..;\n"
+ " END;");
cstmt.registerOutParameter(1, Types.OTHER);
cstmt.registerOutParameter(2, Types.OTHER);
cstmt.execute();
rs = cstmt.getResultSet(1);
Is there an update or patch for the driver which resolves this issue?
thanks much,
mohan

Illustrator CS3 crashes when selecting a swatch from the swatches palette

Hello, i am using a G5 platform to run CS3. in any file i open or create, when i try to apply a swatch to an object, the second i select it from the swatches palette, my Illustrator crashes. In other words, i can't work at all.
I've tried trashing the preferences, restarting the computer, nothing seems to work.
Help?
thanks.

When trashing your preferences
1. Did you first quit Illustrator?
2. Did you trash the whole Adobe Settings folder or just the preference file?
3. Did you run the color sync utility to see if you have corrupt color profiles.
4. Did you repair the Permission with the disk utility
5. Did you check to see if you have corrupt fonts?

Illustrator CS5 crashes when scrolling through font menu.

Hello Adobe Community,
I am in desperate need of help with my Illustrator CS5 program. It has suddenly started to crash when I scroll through the Font menu from the Type menu at the top of the program. I am using a late 2013 Macbook Pro 13" with retina display on OSX 10.9.2. I am using Illustrator CS5 v15.0.0. I have read through scores of forum threads and tried every solution that was suggested and still cannot resolve this problem. I am stumped and my back is up against the wall. My work flow has now slowed to crawl since I have to now search through fonts using FontBook then manually type in the font I need in the font character field. I believe this problem is due to a corrupt font. The trouble started after I installed a new font. I have since deactivated and deleted that font but the problem persists. I am not a "tech head" so I don't know how to generate those long code pages that some can. I can make pretty pictures with Adobe products but I can't service those Adobe products.
Here is a list of things I have tried so far (at least what I remember):
*     I have deactivated and deleted the font I believed to be corrupt.
*     I have validated all my fonts with FontBook and deleted all corrupt files.
*     I have turned off the "enable missing glyph protecting" in the preferences.
*     I have used FontNuke to delete my font caches.
*     I have reset my Pram.
*     I have repaired all my permission with disk utility.
*     I have removed all fonts except for the standard system fonts.
*     I have uninstalled Illustrator and done a clean install (my system was migrated from a backup-however is has worked fine for months).
*     I have deleted my library/preferences/abobefnt.plst.
*     I have change the font preview to small.
*     I deleted all my fonts and restored them from time machine from before I had installed that last font I believed to be buggy.
*     I have prayed to Jebus.
So far none of this has worked. The closest I got was after deleting all the corrupt fonts with FontBook. It worked for a day. Then the next day started crashing again. I am completely lost at this point. I don't know what else to do.
Can anybody please help me figure this out?
BK
Update - I figured out how those crash reports are done so if anyone thinks they can help but needs to see a report please let me know and I will paste it into a reply.
Update 2 - I tried turning off the font preview all together and this seems to have stopped the crashes so far. I think the bug can be isolated to this function. Problem is I need that function.

Question say it all - am using CS4 on macbook pro laptop. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen every time since installation? It only crashes when previewing fonts via the character window.

No problems with the fonts as far as I can tell via font book validation.

Illustrator crashes when I use selection tools?

As of last night, every time I use the selection tool to click on an object, Illustrator crashes without giving me a crash report. I've already tried restoring my preferences and that hasn't helped.
I'm running OS 10.6.8 and Illustrator CS6 16.2.1
Also, for what it's worth, I am also unable to use the selection tools to move objects in InDesign. This started happening at the same time.
Any ideas?

kahoxworth,
You may try to close down all other applications and see whether it helps. Some can cause different kinds of disturbances; you can see a list of usual suspects in Item 7 in Other options; those are just the commonly known ones.
