Hi,
in CC 2017 working with fonts is really slow ... as I read in this topic Photoshop CC 2017 ***lagging*** when Text Layers are added or present! I am not the only one ... are there any updates on solution to this bug that is really annoying ... such a basic function and you are failing on it ... things that are working just fine are after next update complete fail ... it has been more than 2 months since CC 2017 update and still no fix for this one ... cmon!
I seem to recall this is related to a problem with true type fonts. Other font types seem to be ok but TTFs cause a sluggishness. If you have a font manager try deactivating your true types and see if it makes a difference.

But in previous PS this was working just fine ... so I guess it's a bug?

I know it's under investigation as a problem . Hopefully it will get addressed in the next update but unfortunately no guarantee of that.

I have the exact same problem. I have a large collection of fonts as I've been a designer for about 10 years now and this is the first time I'm experiencing such dreadful lag working with fonts. This is typically shown when I select a textarea, paste text there then select all (CTRL+A) to change the font, size, color and Photoshop freezes for about 5-10 seconds here.
Whenever I try to search fonts (type a font name onto the input) it lags so much. It's just horrible. I think I've had this problem for several months now and it doesn't seem to go away.

Exactly the same ... small font sizes are not a problem ... when there is a lot of text, things become really slow. Well anyway Terri thank you for your answer ... good to know that it is on the to-do list of bugs to fix

Hi
If you use a font software manager, make sure it's updated to work with the latest PS version.

No font software here. This problem has been reported being a Photoshop related issue, not font managers.
The only working solution is to install 2015.5 back and work with it. Can't work with 2017.
