Short description of error
Text Objects' fill faces have had their normals flipped. The topology also has been broken, which hopefully should help narrow down the cause by eliminating the many fixes to normal shading that have been committed recently.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Use blender_factory_startup.cmd or OS equivalent.
Add a text object.
Turn on Face Orientation to better see how the faces are flipped.
Extrude it in the text data menu if you wish to see that it appears to only affect the fill faces.
Unextrude it, and add a solidify modifier. Notice the topology of the two "t"s.
Or just open the attached files in their respective builds.
