Photoshop :: Text Engine Unable To Initialize
Mar 17, 2013
I'm working with Photoshop CS6 and I'm working with a lot of layers with Masks presently (I'm not sure if this is worth mentioning or not) and I'm trying to add text to my image but I keep getting an error message saying: "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from initializing." How do I fix this? I just had a problem where I had to re-install the software from scratch because Photoshop wouldn't open files or create any new files, but, like I said, I've already uninstalled and reinstalled it.

I had no problems with CS5 until today. I downloaded a trial version of In Design. Now, the text engine in CS5 won't initialize. What can I do?

Was running the latest version of Photoshop CS5 and added a second quad graphics card and 4 more monitors. Now PS will not start and I get the error message "could not initialize photoshop because of a problem using the adobe color engine."Computer has 2 NVIDIA Quadro4 NVS 420 graphics boards with 8 Samsung SyncMaster 1920x1080 monitors. If I disable 4 of the monitors CS5 starts normally. I do not have to remove the added graphics card. When I extend the desktop again to all 8 monitors I get the error above.
Is it Photoshop, NVIDIA or Windows 7?

I have recently upgraded to photoshop CS3 extended (windows). The problem I'm having is the text engine will not initialize all the time. When I try to add text or modify text. I am frequently blocked because the text engine will not initialize.

Two weeks ago I upgraded to Creative Cloud's Photoshop CS6 and up to now no problems then, all of a sudden - with the final step of a website design just minutes away I got a window warning me that something has stopped the text engine from working.
I was using the text tool and when I clicked on the layer the warning window appeared.

Just starting with Photoshop CS6 and trying to enter text. Getting the following error message:
"Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
Saw this error listed in 2008 on CS3. Does it look like the same thing?

I was working on a psd-file this morning when suddenly an error message appeared - saying somthing of the text engine. I canceled the error message a few times, then saved the document, closed photoshop and reopend the application. Since that moment, I was not able to open the file anymore, Photoshop just stopped making anything. But I can open every other psd-file, but not this specific one. Always when I try to open the specific file Photoshop stopps doing anything.
I tried a lot of things like deleting the font cache, trying to open the file with an older photoshop version, tried to open it with ID, AI, FW, Gimp etc.
I am using Photoshop CC on Windows 7 (64bit).

I'm using PS CS6 13.0.5 x64 on Snow Leopard (iMac 27" late 2012). I tried to change the text engine to Middle Eastern, but after I restart PS, the program is nearly non-responsive, and it takes forever to edit text. Changing it back to East Asian solves the problem, but then again, I want to use the Middle Eastern feature...
When I use Illustrator CS6 I don't have such problems (although I have to write backwards, since there is no support for right-to-left in Illustrator in my version)

I'm trying to label parts of an engine photo with the text feature in GIMP. However, after I have typed my text and press enter or escape, it always leaves a yellow and black hyphenated rectangular frame around the text. How do I get rid of this frame so that only the text will be left?

I am having in Photoshop CS2. I have had CS2 for over 2 years and have never had this problem. I am not able to open Photoshop CS2. I am getting a message that reads "Could not initialize Photoshop because a required resources text file is missing. It goes through a series of " could not load default contours, styles, custom shaphes because the file could not be found" before getting to the "initialize" window.

I'm working on a graphic for a website that has a space-ish theme. The image is one of several ships in a fire-fight.
The hardest part of this image(the one I cant figure out how to do) is to make engine flares for the ships coming out the rears.

This are mostly questions and doubts.
Did Adobe change the Brushes engine from CS3 to CS4?
Is Adobe taking "illustrators" in mind during the PS development?
We need better and realistic natural media controls, like watercolours (what about Moxi?),impasto, etc.; a colour wheel could be better than the actual color palettes, some palette to put a selection of brushes.
Could we hope that the "artistic" side of Photoshop will be improved soon?

I've recently started receiving the error message "Could not initialize Photoshop [CS] because there is not enough memory (RAM)" on a Mac with 4GB RAM. I've tried holding command + option + shift at startup to reset the preferences, but it does not seem to have fixed anything. What else can I try?

I am using Photoshop 7 on Windows Vista. I just bought a new computer and installed Photoshop (which worked fine on my old computer running XP). It installs correctly but wen I launch it I get the error "Could not initialize Photoshop because the scratch disks are full." Then Photoshop immedietly shuts down.
My C drive has 1.3 TB free, my D drive has 145 GB free and my E drive has 5 GB free. I've tried defragmenting all the drives and deleting any temp files.

This message suddenly appeared when I tried to open Photoshop CS3 (Vista 64 bit) today together with advice to unlock the file using the 'properties' tab in windows explorer. Prior to today Photodshop was working fine and the only thing I've done since I last used it is to update Cammera Raw to 4.4 - reverting to to 4.3 makes no difference.
I can't see anything in Windows Explorer that does this. But ticking 'run this program as an administrator' in the 'compatibility' tab part resolves it - it allows the program to open but only after presenting me with a 'do you want this program to run?' dialog box each time it opens.

I am trying to do text to path and I finally got it to work, but it is not bringing the text color that I assigned. Instead the text becomes a black outline of the real text. I uploaded this to the application I wanted to use it in, and the text was gone.

I have CS5 and lately I have been getting this error message: "could not initialize photoshop because there is not enough ram." I have a new computer that is running Windows 8 and has 32 Gigabytes of ram. Whatever the problem actually is, it's not because I don't have enough ram! I can fix it for a while by reboting my computer.
