My text is not showing up.

Hello,

  I have a problem that occurs occasionally and it is really annoying. 

When I click to add text or type "T" the font does not show up at all. All I see is a point. 
but the layer window shows that there is dummy text present.

I have tried other fonts and font sized and still the same result...

I have attached two images of the actual error messages I am receiving when I:

• Try to make the text into a selection.
• Transform the text layer.

I have tried everything I can think of and searched google/youtube extensively but I 

can not find the solution.

Thanks in advance!
