Please go to location:C:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\TypeSupport\PSE<version no>and rename the files present there.AppData folder is hidden by default.You can turn on viewing of hidden files and folder or simply type the complete location C:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\ on Windows explorer search.Thanks,Anwesha

Was having the same issue. Did these steps, but it did not go away until I powered down the computer and restarted.

Before doing this, close Photoshop.

1. Deleted the PhotoShop Font Cache.

2. Deleted the System Font Cache. In order to do this, I had to go to windows services and stop the service "Windows Font Cache Service".

3. Some instructions say to delete the Photoshop font cache at C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop <version>. Delete the CT Font Cache folder and empty the Recycle Bin. I did not have this folder.

4. Power down and restart computer.

5. No more issue.
