Help me fix this: "...because the </a @-1 font server> could not be created"

[Gednav_the_Great]

This has been happening on and off for a month. Photoshop is 100% up-to-date, yet when I boot it up and try to change the font in the /Character panel (sorry, I don't know the technical term) I get the following error:

Could not complete your request because the </a @-1 font server> could not be created

Ugh...

Why?

Thanks @jane-e. 

I tried but couldn't find any CT Font Cache.

And yes, I have access to hidden folders. 

I've just installed and uninstalled Photoshop. Again. 

But, I feel this is a temporary fix. 

I've also gone through the list of "known fonts that cause issues" and I have none of those fonts on my lappy top.

Thanks Jane. I've gone through the steps in that post/what was recommended on the Adobe site. 

It seems uninstalling/reinstalling is the fastest fix. 

If this happens again, I'll definitely try the live chat to find a direct solution.

Thanks for your help 😄
