Cannot use typetool at all anymore

[Lewiz]

Hi everyone, since a couple of months ago, everytime when I work in an existing project, or brand new one, in short, in EVERY single AE project under my hands, when I choose the type tool and click somewhere in a comp I get :After Effects warning ; Unknown BIB Error. CT generic: cannot read stream, BRV, 0 ( 83 :: 3 ), it's a message I can click away hundreds of times but it keeps coming back until AE crashes. I cannot use the type tool anymore, not at all, which is a BIG pain in the *ss when you do almost exclusively animated text.

Sometimes I managed to get AE working by signing out of the cloud, restarts, deinstalling Adobe fonts and reinstalling them, but at the moment even this timeconsuming workaround doesn't help.

Any advice very very urgently needed. Adobe, why am I eternally confronted with new errors and problems all the time? Respect for new features, but there aer SO many problems lately. Really.

Continue weeding out your fonts, including getting rid of all locally installed fonts you do not currently need. After that, clean out the Adobe font caches as well as the system font cache and reboot. Also check your region and language settings. Sometimes accidentally having switched the system language or the default unit delimiter can switch the font engine to a different encoding and make things a mess just like anbling support for Arabic and Asian languages at the system level sometimes does.

Thanks Mylenium, I guessed it would have everything to do with the Adobe fonts and how much/which ones are enabled. I fixed it by deactivating all 93 Adobe fonts I had activated, restarting pc and then reenabling all of them again. 
I guess I regret the moment when I started using Adobe fonts instead of locally installed ones, that is when all of this crap started. Now every time I have to deactivate and reactivate every font I need.

By the way, cleaning Adobe font cache and system font cache is a very good tip! I've never done that before, so that should make a difference 🙂

thanks a whole lot, I greatly appreciate your help!
