Gill Sans is not working correctly. Gill Sans Light appears as a serif font and Gill Sans Regular appears as Gill Sans Light?

Hi as0773,
It appears that this case is not one that was covered by the hotfix today. The best course of action to ensure that this is captured is to use the in-app feedback to submit a report (using the smiley face icon).

Hi Jake,
Is that you select Gill Sans Light when composing email and it will turn back to Gill Light Regular automatically if you compose the email in a new window?
I'd like to let you know that this is a normal behavior for Outlook & Word, the default setting for Gill Regular is Regular.
Regards,
Hans
Hi Hans,
Thank you for your reply.
On Outlook, I select Gill Sans Light to compose an email. As I type, the font appears as a serif font.
On Word, I select Gill Sans Light to compose a document. As I type, the font appears heavier than usual but not quite Gill Sans Regular. If I select Gill Sans regular and compose a document, the font looks to be Gill Sans Light.
Kind regards,
Jake
Would you please help confirm if font “serif” means “PT Serif”? To compare Gill Sans light with PT serif, I edited an email with Gill Sans light and PT serif font to clarify in Outlook. The results as the following picture shows. They are different from each other obviously. This issue might be related to the resolution of the screen.
I suggest edit a email with fonts Gill San light and serif in Outlook for Mac and send it to someone, then monitor results in the recipient’s screen to see how it goes.
If the fonts displays in the recipent's screen just like yours, please post the screenshot of the fonts for further investigation.
Best regards,
Coldwell
