2 Default Fonts Making Photoshop Crash Consistently

Question

Hello! I am new to using photoshop, been learning it for the past month. Recently, while exploring the default fonts that come with it pre installed (I am yet to download/add any font to photoshop) I noticed 2 fonts in the decorative section, namely "ROG Fonts Regular" and "ROG Fonts STRIX SCAR Regular" make my photshop freeze and crash without fail whenever i select them, and if i hover over them (without selecting) the font selection dialog box closes to show a message saying "Selected font failed during last operation. If problem persists, please disable the font."

I dont know if these 2 fonts are default fonts for everyone or just users like me (who own an Asus/ROG Laptop) but I would like to know if this is a kind of problem faced by others in the latest update (I never checked this in older versions) and/or how can I remove or disable those 2 fonts.

Any advice appreciated.

Thank You!

They are not Adobe fonts. Please read this:

ROG fonts, specifically those used in ASUS's Armoury Crate software, can sometimes cause issues, particularly with font rendering or installation. These problems can manifest as corrupted fonts, incorrect display of text, or even the software failing to recognize or install the fonts properly.

Here's a more detailed look at potential issues and solutions:

1. Rendering Problems:

Corrupted Fonts:

Fonts can sometimes become corrupted, leading to display errors. This can be resolved by re-downloading the font file from a reliable source or using font repair tools.
Incorrect Display:

Text might appear blurry, misaligned, or with incorrect characters, especially when using custom fonts. This can be due to the font not being fully compatible with the application or system.
Hardware Limitations:

Some systems or graphics cards might not fully support certain fonts or rendering techniques, leading to display issues.

2. Installation and Recognition Issues:

Armoury Crate Font Updates:

Font Installation Errors:
Custom fonts might not be recognized by the system or specific applications, even after installation.
Compatibility:
Some fonts might be incompatible with specific browsers or applications, causing rendering problems.

Troubleshooting Steps:

Reinstall Armoury Crate:

If you are experiencing problems with Armoury Crate, reinstalling the software might resolve the issue.
Update Fonts Manually:

Check Graphics Settings:

Ensure your graphics card is properly configured and capable of rendering the fonts, especially if you're experiencing display issues.
Try Different Fonts:

If you're using custom fonts, try switching to a different font or format to see if it resolves the problem.
Consult ASUS Support:

I do not have the mentioned fonts, so those fonts are neither default nor included with the installation.
