Cannot disable faux bold style

Question

I'm using the Acumin Variable font, and no matter what style / weight I use, I am unable to convert to the text to a shape.

I keep getting the following error:

"Could not complete the Convert to Shape command because the type layer uses a faux bold style."

I did try switching to Arial and then back to Acumin, which seemed to work once. But I've tried it again on another text box and still can't convert to a shape when using Acumin.

The 'faux bold' option is ghosted out.

Is there a way around this?

I do not have problem on Windows, Photoshop 24.1.0. Acumin Variable Concept > Wide Medium can be converted to shape. Open Properties panel (with Type layer selected) scroll down to section Quick Actions, expand it and click on Convert to Shape button. I tested with single line and paragraph text.

At my side Faux bold is also greyed out on Character panel, by the way.
