I had the same error and searched for all the solutions, but nothing.

The font test script gave me same error message

- C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\tmp00000001

- C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\tmp00000001

- C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\tmp00000001

And of course, there were no tmpxxx files in any photoshop folder in my computer.

After long searches and trying solutions, I opened the file on another computer running photoshop, identified all the font

I got the same issue, I tried all the mentioned solution, to clear font cache, deleting CTfont Support folder etc. 

But, again it was same. 

So, I just uninstalled my Adobe Photoshop CC2020 (Windows 10 Pro) 

But make sure you CHOOSE TO UNINSTALL WHILE KEEPING NO SETTINGS AND INETRFACE ETC.

then Restart the system, 

Re-Install it

While alrady logged in Adobe Creative Cloud 

It shold fix this stubborn proble.

There's a simpler solution here. Go to typekit and deactivate the font that's causing the issue and then simply reacitvate it. Problem solved.

For Adobe Photoshop CC in windows 10.

Both are in the latest update.

I face the same problem today.

To fix it, same as @vladb 's answer.

1. C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe

here i see 2 adope photoshop files

i. 'Adobe Photoshop 2020'

ii. 'Adobe Photoshop 2021'

i am not sure which one should i delete so i rename both files by adding dot '.' in front of it.

when i run photoshop, the apps automatically create a new folder 'Adobe Photoshop 2020' in the same dir.

thanks sire @vladb !

All you need to do is disable the last few fonts you used in Creative Cloud Font Manager. Save your file. Then open CC Font Manager and reacivate the fonts. Open file. Done.

I got this issue and was unable to save my document because of it, after a short 10 minutes panic, I realised it was clearly related to the font I had recently actuvated from Adobe Fonts. So tried simply disactivating and reactivating the font and it fixed the issue.

I had this problem on Photoshop 2022. Nothing here worked. Fixed it by using "FontDoctor" to locate the corrupted fonts; deleted them. Demo version allows you to find them, just manually delete them. Then I had to delete adobe font cache;

User\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2022\CT Font Cache
I also deleted \AppData\Local\Adobe\TypeSupport\*cache*.lst

 

I deleted both, not sure if the last move helped or it was CT Cache, but either way

Problem solved.

Just reinstall the last font used in your project. 

It's a broken cache in Photoshop.
