Text Defaulting to Italic

[Serena King]

All of my text is showing up as italic. I have read through other examples of this, and have tried the various solutions, but nothing resolves the issue. The font is set to regular, and I do not have the faux-italic override clicked either. I also tried resetting Photoshop and resetting the text tool. Still no luck.

Hi @Serena King 

Select your text with the Type tool and open the Character panel from the Window menu. In the icons at the bottom, click the "I" to turn off Faux Italic.

These icons are not in the options bar, Properties panel, or Contextual Task Bar.

Perfect! Thank you! I thought I was going crazy thinking that my fonts definitely looked italicized but I couldn't find the option

Hi, 

I am unable to even find the character panel? It isn't showing in my window menu?

Hi @Chris38080360kfvh 

Can you take a screenshot of your Window menu for us?

Same Problem! Text is coming out all italic...and the Faux Bold and Faux Italics isn't even showing in my Character menu?! See attatched. Anyone?
Photoshop is up to date (2023) and runing MacOs Ventura 13.4

NVM...Found it in yes...that specific character spot.Why not available in the type properties is beyond me.

Yes, as stated earlier in this thread, the faux (fake) italic and bold are only in the Character panel, not in options bar, Properties panel, or Contextual Task Bar. In my personal opinion, they shouldn't exist at all.
