Photoshop CS4 Crashes when I use the Type Tool – Solved!

Every time I use the Photoshop CS4 Type tool it crashes! It might take ages to start working to begin with and I get a (program not responding) warning but then it’s ok. However… generally after I’ve typed in a few letters the whole program crashes – it’s so annoying! I can’t get any work done this way and Adobe – (bless ‘em) are really stressing me out…

It’s Ok calm down there little camper, this has been a known problem for Adobe I remember since oh, long before you were born, in the days of Photoshop 3.0!

Now the year is 2010 and most people are using Photoshop CS4 they still haven’t fixed this problem. The problem is – and has always been the ‘Font Preview’

Simply go to Edit > Preferences > Type and in there you’ll probably see an option that has ‘Font Preview Size’ with the box ticked.

Just un-tick the box and you’re good to go little camper. No more nasty crashing. Here, I’ve taken a screenshot for you.
