Hello,
In-case your Photoshop (whichever version) decides to break down, and your fonts are causing the message:
"Something prevented the text engine from being initialized",
You will need to delete the font which is causing the problem. For me, I had 2,000+ fonts, from a large collection and I didn't have enough time to delete each and every one. Thankfully, I bring to you the link for the Default Windows 7 fonts.
With this, you can "Ctrl + a" and "Delete" all the fonts, and replace them with these defaults:
