make sure you’re in an image> mode that supports type, like rgb 8 bit…

This one’s been answered in a couple other places, but it took me forever to find an answer when I had that problem…

It’s usually caused by bad fonts. For some systems, it’s multiple installs of the same font, or it could be Photoshop reacting poorly to OpenType fonts. There is no happy solution – the first time this happens, you have to go through your font directory and determine which one is causing the problem. Back the entire thing up, close Photoshop, and delete all the fonts you’ve installed since the problem began. If you’ve just installed Photoshop, it’s probably the fonts that were automatically installed with the program. Reinstall them one at a time to determine which one is the problem.

The "easiest" thing to do if that doesn’t work, is to remove as many fonts as possible (leave all the system fonts like Arial and Times New Roman or Windows will get VERY angry) and slowly reinstall them, checking Photoshop as you go.

I’ve had this problem with both Vista and XP, even though Vista supposedly improved font handling. Doing this has fixed it each time, and yes, I’ve had to do this after every install / reinstall.

To Dave Milbut and Spkie Encelewski,
Thank you very very much. I will reinstall the program and do as your advice.

The thing is kind of weird is for other Adobe that use Type (T) are working fine, only happen to Adobe Photoshop. It is kind of disappoint about Adobe CS3 Master program because I bought it for $2000 and it have this kind of bugs.

And Also this forum of Adobe have alot of room for improve. It took me 3 hrs to looking for my kind of problem and finally I gave up and post the new one.

once again, Thank you, GUYS.
