I realize this is a very long time after the last post but I know it is something people still struggle with and I think a 2017 post will make google searches easier to find the answer. As others have said it helps to please state your operating system. But don’t let anyone tell you that this doesn’t work on one system or another. It works just fine in InDesign, Photoshop, After Effects and Illustrator. Highlight the text with the text tool. While it’s highlighted, highlight the selected font in the “Character Panel: Font Family” window. While both are highlighted simply hit the arrow keys. If you find that it stops randomly. Then do as others have suggested. Turn off “Enable Missing Glyph Protection”. This should fix the problem.

This usually occurs from downloaded fonts or if there are font errors. Sometimes you’ll see a black diamond to the right of the selected “Font Family” in the “Character Panel: Font Family” window. If you see that black diamond. You may also want to open your Font Book and look for errors, it can also mean that a font that is native or shipped with your program is missing or damaged. Many errors are from duplicated fonts. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
