Error - Selected font failed during last operation in Photoshop

[josem5020783]

Hello everyone. I keep getting this pop up "Selected font failed during last operation. If problem persists, please disable the font." On all fonts Adobe and personal fonts. Not stock fonts.

Here are some things I have tried. 

• Clearing Photoshop Cache
• Clearing Photoshop CTFont Cache 
• Uninstalled and re-install all Adobe apps
• Added my personal fonts to Adobe cloud
• Uninstalled and re-install all fonts (Through Adobe and manually)

Only in Photoshop. Illustrator still lets me use all the fonts. InDesign does not load the font either instead I get an "OpenType is not available for this font" with red highlight. Is there any way i can reset all font settings or files on a Mac if that's even a thing? I think I have PS 21.1.1 and I am using Mac. 

Thanks!!!

Hello, I was panicking because I was stuck in the issue of not being able to save my project, when every solution here told me to close photoshop and cc etc. I was using 3 fonts in my projects, I simply went into my fonts folder, looked up for the fonts being used in the project, right clicked them and clicked install and overwrite. I was successfuly able to save my project after that

Just had this problem just show up for the first time. Like others have did, I opened the Creative Cloud app and disabled the font I was using. I then immediately re-enabled it and the problem went away. The best part is that I didn't have to close Photoshop to do this so I didn't lose any work.

That error in Photoshop can be frustrating! It usually happens when the font you're using is either corrupted, missing, or not properly installed. Here's how you can try to fix it:

1. Check Font Installation

• Ensure that the font is properly installed on your system. If it's a custom font, you may need to reinstall it:
  • On Windows: Open the Control Panel > Fonts and check if the font is listed.
  • On Mac: Open Font Book to see if it's activated.

2. Restart Photoshop

• Sometimes, simply closing and reopening Photoshop can solve minor issues like this.

3. Clear Font Cache

• Photoshop caches fonts, and sometimes those caches can become corrupt. To clear the font cache:
  
  • Delete the FontCache files.
  • Restart Photoshop.

4. Try a Different Font

• If the error only happens with a specific font, try switching to a different font. If Photoshop works fine with others, the font might be corrupted.

5. Update Photoshop

• Make sure your Photoshop is up to date. Sometimes bugs like these are fixed in the latest updates.

6. Reset Preferences

• If nothing else works, resetting Photoshop preferences can solve a variety of issues. To do this:
  • Windows: Hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift while launching Photoshop.
  • Mac: Hold Cmd + Option + Shift while launching Photoshop.
  • A prompt will ask if you want to delete preferences; confirm it.

Let me know if any of these steps help, or if the issue persists!
