Photoshop cs5 12.0.4 is going thru too many fonts so you have to erase some.
Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 update on MacBook Pro with osx 10.5.8
This is what I did: I already had a clone of my hard drive and since I had a clone that means I had a copy of all the fonts in font book(you can probably just copy all your fonts to an external drive). Step 1: go to font book and select 'All Fonts' in the Collection column and all your fonts should show up in the Font column.
Step 2: highlight all your fonts in the font column and then hold down the command key as you deselect the few fonts your going to keep(I kept Arial, Arial Black, Arial narrow, Ballantines(bold, light, regular, demibold), Courier, Geneva, Helvetica, Helvetica neue, Lucida Grande, Monaco). This way your computer has some fonts to use since your about to remove the rest.
Step 3: go to the file menu and choose 'Remove Fonts' (have patience as it may take a few for the computer to delete them)
Finally: restart your computer or just leave it on like I did and open photoshop cs5 and your text tool shouldn't crash your system.
Just add the fonts u want to use now or as time goes by. I had over 1000.
Pros:
Haven't experienced the update
Cons:
Adobe photoshop inability to handle hella fonts More

Sorry I dit the 12.04 update..
Beware the 12.04 update. I just did it and the Marquee tool and Type tool have stopped working - this is only affecting files in one folder. I have a lot of client files I was working on earlier and I got a prompt for the Updater while opening a file with text in it (images too). After I performed the Update, the files in this one folder started acting this way. Other files from other folders with text in them seem OK. I've been on hold w/Adobe for 90 min. now trying to get an answer. I'm frustrated and angry. Time is money and I'm losing both quickly. Grrrrr..... More
