I had this problem too.
Try these things.

Click the top/first font on the list of "All Fonts".
Go to the bottom, hold shift and click the last font to select them all.

Click file ---> Validate Font.

This checks all your fonts for problems, delete the severe ones.

If that doesn't work click Edit ---> Resolve Duplicates.

Those were the first two things I tried. If they don't work you need to restore all your fonts to the defaults.

I was lucky enough to have a time machine backup so I could go back and restore the font folders.

Maybe someone can upload the default font folders.
Contact me if you still need help and I can upload the default fonts so you can restore.

Hope this helps!
