After installing 25.2.2 all type is now italics.  The issue does not extend to premiere - using the type tool there gives normal type.  but everything i type in AE is now in italics immediately followinng the update

We can't reproduce this issue based on the description. Make sure you don't have Faux Italics turned on (menu for the properties panel when a text layer is selected, make sure Faux Italics is turned off)

further update - when you type in premiere and then dynamically link in AE it creates a precomp for the text.  inside that precomp, all text works great, even text you subsequently type in AE. but the main comp and everywhere else in AE the text is all italics.  so there is a weird work around if  this hits you on deadline.

update.  if i type text normally in premiere then dynamically link that text the type isn't rendered in italics in AE fyi.  but the same font, same letters default to italics in AE in the dynamically linked comp.
