With a Mac you have to take whatever drivers are offered.

A post yesterday person had same problem.  Apple supplied driver was just bad.

What video card are you using?  Do you have another you can change to?

The ATI card should work.  Have you tried to diaable OpenGL?

Do you have any 3rd party fonts installed?  If so disable them.  Same for 3rd party plugins.

After that guess you need to look at crash report.  I really can not read Mac's very well.

Best to give a look and see if there is some program that jumps out at you.

I guess I could diable that but I really need that plug-iin.... I think I will have to wait til apple or adobe fix this issue!

thanks.bily

Just disable for a test.  If it still does not work then you know that is not it.

Waiting for Apple or Adobe to fix something will only work if they can reproduce the problem on their computers.  So you need to figure out what it is first.

What video card and driver do you have?

I'm not sure.  Where is this information located?  Note: I checked my updates and they are current.

Well, I don't know what the issue is really. When I start to use the text tool in CS6 it bogs down it seems. Writing text can cause the spinning beach ball of death to start or the abobe five circle of misery to act up with every text edit. The thing is, it don't happen all zee time soooo, I can't be sure what is the issue. I know, not much help. Buuuut it does sound a lot like the issue that had happened, oh way back in May 13, 2010. When there was issues in CS5. You made comments on it then, and it seems to be acting up again now in CS6.

Just trying to bring the issue to your attention as it seems as though it is a bug.

I updated my Radon driver to 8.96.0.0 (May 5, 2012)  for 4800 series card. Prior to the update had zero problems. Since update have had a couple of blue screens related to video driver. Also CS6 was crashing but more frequently I would get a garbeled screen on occasion. Disabled Open GL and PS seems fine now. Driver seems problematic on my system (Win 7  high spec components). Seems to be the ATI driver in my case.

I am having the same problem only I have a HP Pavilion g7 Notebook, but it seems it happens when I either use the fx tools or open a file from outside photoshop.....Didn't have a problem with CS5 at all. This is only the trial version, but I think I'll wait to buy CS6 and stay with CS5. Unless they come out with a CS6.5 fast....

It's good of you to name the font and the symptom - I'm sure the Adobe people would like to know and who knows?  They might even be able to add some robustness to Photoshop so it won't crash.

Beyond that, it may be that that font is malformed somehow.  Given that, it may be a matter of:

Patient:  "Doc!  It hurts when I do this!"

Doc:  <slapping patient on the head with a newspaper> "Well, then, don't do that!"

Oh, this occurred to me:  Did you install both the OpenType and TrueType flavors?  I believe you only want to install one or the other.

When I first used this font I installed the TTF only, now I tried the OTF, and I thought to have found a solution.

At the beginning it was smooth and no crash occured, but after 2-3 hours of work even the OTF gave me the same issues, screen goes black and cs6 need to be closed in order to "see something on the screen".

I know I can easily change font or whatever, but i'm working on a comic and I'm almost at the end... and to switch fonts from each cloud seems so hard and tedious that I'd love to have a different way to solve this. But I don't want to whine, I think I'll get used to it and slowly change the fonts used.

Thanks for your help, Noel.

Edit: I need to be clear about this font. It crash only if I work with it for more than 1 hour. The file size grows from 20 mb to 34-35 when i use the text tool but when I reopen the file after the crash its size is still 21-22mb.

Today I tried a different font (Comicbook, very similar to the previous one) and after about 8-9 hours of work it gave me the same problem(s). Again and again. I'll wait for a fix because at this point it can only be the bug you mentioned above.

It's definitely not caused by the AnimeACE 2.0, sorry for the misdirection and thanks for your helpful review of the font

Have you figured out which font is the culprit yet? I am having the same issue. Only staredd after I got the license code. I have Vista which I'm wondering if thay's the issue....maybe? It seems to happen when I use the brush tool, however. It might be  a brush that I've downloaded? Please help. I have work that NEEDS to get finished.
