Arial Black font is italic

Arial Black and Arial Black Italic are installed correctly on my PC  (and appear correctly in CorelDraw), but in Photoshop the normal is italic, and there is no Italic version available in list.

How do I fix this? Please see photo. I need arial black back! Thanks.

Correct answer studio 3D

I found a solution: I checked Illustrator... THERE "Arial Black Italic" is how it's separately listed, and the normal Arial Black was hidden in the Arial family... so for some reason Arial Black Italic is separately listed, and displayed correctly in Illustrator but incorrectly in Photoshop.

Hi

and ... Make sure your Character palet is not using Italic.

You mean faux italic? No.

Thanks, but it didn't work I was hopeful!
Maybe I should re-install Photoshop? I'm up to date with CC 2017.

What operating system?  Your screen shot looks like Windows, but most of the font issues I have seen are with OSX.  They would be covered with Akash's link to the Troubleshooting fonts FAQ though.

What have you tried in order to fix it?

Do you have a font plugin like Suitcase?  Suitcase is known to cause problems.

Try starting Photoshop while holding down the Shift key to force Photoshop to load without plug-ins or extensions.

I'm guessing you have tried restarting your computer and Photoshop?

Try removing the relevant fonts from the font folder, restarting, and popping them back.

Try replacing the relevant font files from another computer.

I think Windows SFC (System File Checker) looks at fonts, but we don't know your operating system yet.
