Describe Selected Font Failed During Last Operation Fault

The problem here is the font cache used by Adobe Photoshop which probably got corrupted. You simply need to clear the cache to start working again. To fix the problem, close Photoshop and other Adobe CC applications that might be running. Next, navigate to the following folder using Windows Explorer.

For Adobe Photoshop CS6 and older:

• C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe – for Microsoft Windows XP
• C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Adobe – for Microsoft Windows 7

For Adobe Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014:

• C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC – for Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows 8

Note: you probably need to show hidden system files and folders to navigate to these folders. In Windows Explorer, go to “Tools” and then “Folder Options”. In “Folder Options” window, select “View” tab. In “Advanced settings” section, scroll down and look for “Show hidden files and folders” and select it. Next, uncheck “Hide protected operating system files” then click “OK”.

For Photoshop CS6 and earlier, look for the “TypeSupport” folder. For Photoshop CC, look for the “CT Font Cache” folder. Delete these folders and empty the Recycle Bin. Now, start Adobe Photoshop again and it should work again.
