Fireworks CS6 does not let me edit type

Long story short: Up until a couple weeks ago, Fireworks CS6 was working just fine on my iMac, along with the rest of CS6 (ID, PS, IL, DW). The computer started having problems, and I discovered a bad RAM board which was replaced. Then I decided to wipe the drive and do a fresh reinstallation of the OS and all software. No problems.

Except this major one: Fireworks CS6 no longer allows me to use the text tool. Attempting to select an existing text box, or trying to create a new text box results in a spinning beachball.

I use Linotype FontExplorer X. Thinking that it might be an issue with a glitch somewhere in the font libraries (which I had copied over from the drive clone I'd made before the wipe), I purged them ALL and spent two hours recreating them from scratch. Then went into FW expecting it to work. No change: spinning beachball.

I removed and reinstalled FW completely. No change: spinning beachball.

I went to use FW CS5.1, and it let me edit text again. Hooray, a temp solution to at least stay productive. However the second time I went into FW CS5.1, the same exact problem manifested. Spinning beachball.

I deleted my Fireworks preference files at root level. No change: spinning beachball.

I'm at my wits end. I have work to do! How do I fix this?

CS5: Times (T1) being substituted for no apparent reason

This is happening with maddening frequency:

I have an InDesign CS5 document open. I select several items, some of them being text boxes. I copy the items, then tab over to another open document. I paste the items.

For no apparent reason, some of the fonts in the pasted items will spontaneously change to Times (T1), and be highlighted in pink, signifying that I do not have that font installed.

The default font is set as Minion Regular. I have Minion Regular installed on my Mac, naturally. I do not have Times (T1) and I don't think I ever did. I think it has something to do with paragraph styles, but the default Basic Paragraph font is Minion Regular. If it subs anything (and why should it be??) I would think it would default to Minion, not some font I don't even have installed.

Why is InDesign changing my fonts? Is this a bug that has been fixed in CS5.5?

Thanks in advance.
