Write left header (´ihead´) normal NOT cursively using ´scrpage2´

Question

Purpose

Write left header (´ihead´) normal NOT cursively using ´scrpage2´.

I tried some code but it made no sense.

Code

This code is used:

\usepackage{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\usepackage{totpages}
\clearscrheadfoot
\ihead{Header Left }
\ohead{Header Right}
\ifoot{Footer Left}
\ofoot{Footer Right}
\setheadtopline{0mm}
\setheadsepline{0.1mm}
\setfootsepline{0.1mm}
\setfootbotline{0mm}

Footer left and right are written normal.

Header left is written cursively.

scrpage2.sty defines a command, \headfont that controls the font used to typeset headers. This is initially defined as \normalfont\slshape, i.e., using the slanted (italic) version of the default font. There are several things you can do to change this:

If all you want to do is change only the inner header without affecting the outer header, change your \ihead command:
```
\ihead{\upshape Header Left}
```
If you want to change the default for headers (which will change the outer header as well), redefine \headfont:
```
 \renewcommand*{\headfont}{\normalfont}
```
You can then use something like \ohead{\slshape Header Right} if you want the right header to be italicised.

A couple of (unsolicited) remarks:

scrpage2 has been deprecated in favour of scrlayer-scrpage.
Technically speaking \ihead is the inner header and not necessarily the left header of the page. You may want to look at Figure 5.1 of the KOMA-Script documentation for a picture of what's going on. Of course, if your page style doesn't distinguish between even and odd pages, this is irrelevant, but its worth being aware of.
