Which version of Photoshop? did you check for bad fonts?

It's Version 21.1 

Followed the steps but it still crashed.

It Litteraly chrases as i press the 'T-Button' or select the tool trough the bar.

Experiencing the same issue. I did a font test and no damaged fonts. No luck after an uninstall and reinstall either.

Are you on Mac as well? Did you guys try other document types (like 8-bit or 16-bit)? Documents open or closed?

Try also using Type > Font Preview Size > None on the menu bar before even attempting to click the Type Tool.

Well, Font Preview Size > None, seems to work. but it doesnt seem to be a long-term solution. But i'll keep it like that for now, maybe an upcoming update will fix this issue

thanks for the help!!!!

at least i can continue working now

It's always seemed a little wonky and laggy to me, as cool and helpful as it is. I'm guessing video drivers aren't helping here. It's too bad Apple doesn't give control of that to the user to help rectify issues.

I actaully just got this fixed. The problem was that some of my fonts were corrupted. Try removing problem fonts as follows:

1. Choose Applications > Font Book.
2. Choose All Fonts in the Collection column.
3. Choose File > Validate Font.
4. Delete the damaged or duplicate fonts.
   
   

That might fix the problem and perhaps some other font-related problems as well.

After uninstalling all (possible) fonts, checking and two hours of searching, I found the solution here. Many thanks for this. Type > Font Preview Size

In German:

Nach Deinstalieren aller (möglichen) Fonts und zwei Stunden Suche habe ich hier die Lösung gefunden. Vielen Dank dafür. Auf Deutsch: Menü > Schrift > Vorschaugröße für Schrift > OHNE

ADOBE: WHAT A MESS!

I had the same trouble and the ( Type > Font Preview Size > None )seems to have worked for me.

Thank you

Thank you posting this. I've been using InDesign as a work-around!
