Just installed CS5 Production Premium and AE and PS crash because of fonts, apparently. AE won't start at all and PS either crashes at startup or when I use the text tool.

I know it's a font compatibility issue, I've been able to remove all the fonts from my font folder and they both start working... but as soon as I bring them back in they start crashing. Font Doctor shows no errors, Font Book shows some "minor issues" on a few fonts but no "serious errors", but it's 300 fonts that are "minor issues" and Font Book even crashes if I try to remove them.

This is so annoying. CS4 works fine! I don't want to have to remove all 300 fonts, I don't even know if it'll work. I've also removed Postscript Type 1 fonts as I've heard it's a problem, I've cleared caches and repaired permissions. Even deleted preference lists.

What else is there to do that doesn't involve one by one reinstalling my 1200 fonts!?
