Text layer is always in italics!

Question

I noticed that there was a recent update to Photoshop desktop that affected text.  What I'm now observing is that all the text I type, for example a copyright notice on a photograph, is being created in italics.  This is despite the setting for the text that specify regular type in bold -- not italics.  Am I missing something that should be obvious but isn't?  Photoshop 25.5.1 on a Windows 11 Pro platform.

In Photoshop go to Window>Character and see if Faux Italic is enabled.

It was set to italics.  I have not used italics in a long, long, long, long time.  There must be something in the most recent update that set it to italics.  I would never have thought to go to Window>Character.  Window is not an obvious place to look for something related to text.
