Changing Font on Outlook Mobile App for Android

Is it possible to change the font on the Outlook mobile app for android? I don't see an option to change the font within the actual app and even if I change the font for the entire phone it still appears as Calibri. I want to change it to Times New Roman (consistent with my desktop default font). I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S10+, but I do not think that makes a difference.

    "you still have the option to set the default font according to your preference."

    Really? Tell me us more!

    Here is a workaround for this:

    Use word to compose a one-word greeting, i.e.: Hello, in whatever font you choose. Copy and paste that into Outlook when you are starting to compose an email, and the rest of the body will have that custom font.

    Caveats:

    When pasting, you have to long-press on the text field to paste the text. It won't work if you use the mobile clipboard because it will merge the formats.

    Also, this works as long as that text is the last thing you copied, so you would have to repeat the process every time you need to start a new email if you've copied some other text. So, consider saving that word document and have it ready to use.

    Thank you so much, Greg - this worked for me! When I click "Load full message" and type, my font is much more reasonable in size. I don't seem to have the "pop-out" feature or the "quick response" one, but load full message will work fine for me I think. Really appreciate your posting.

    I don't care if the administrator kicks me out, I have a solution.

    There's another alternative. Use another mail client that can all the requested. Unless there is a rule from your company that prohibits using anything but MS Outlook. That's the case with me. And it frustrates me.

    Unless you have a rule like this I suggest alternative client (nine), it's worth every penny.

    You can change the font, the size, set the default values. Also, you can make a signature as on the desktop version. Even add pictures.

    There is no need for any workaround.
