Using Outlook for Android in business environments for email and scheduling
Our company uses a custom font for all communication. It would be nice if there was the possibility to set a font of your choice in the Outlook app on 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.

In 2024 there's still no change. Why is there no possibility to change font? That does not make sense sending different font and size emails when not using the desktop version.
"you still have the option to set the default font according to your preference."
Really? Tell me us more!
If I wanted what the company gave us I'd have bought a Apple product.
And where did you get this "creators" word? We're talking software products, not YouTube videos here.
I have never worked for MS but in my IT career I've been employed by and contracted into dozens of large North American-headquartered companies. In particular, US-based companies are always interested in customer feedback (at least until their dying days). It is big problem with Canadian customers that they are happy to suffer in silence before slinking off to find a new replacement supplier. It is a particularly big problem here in Canada for Canadian companies because the majority of their business is often from customers who silently switch suppliers without ever giving feedback as to what is wrong.
Outlook is a Microsoft product, Microsoft management, its designers, its developers, and its testers are supposed to care about customer needs and desires -- an I am sure that the ones that have good performance reviews really do. *They are not well served by suggestions that customers we silence themselves and make do with what they've already provided.*Customer-specific fonts and formatting are important for most paying Office365 customers, since they are businesses and organizations their marketing and legal departments need to present a consistent image to their customers. Customer-specific formating is an important feature for Microsoft to maintain on new platforms like Android, just as it maintained it when Office was extended to the MacOS platform.

Hi Everyone,
Please stop blaming the creators. They provide us with something better than nothing. If you think outside the box, you still have the option to set the default font according to your preference.
...
Give it a try and thank me later. There's always a solution if you consider the creators.
Yeah that's not a solution. Some people send a lot of emails from their phones. Don't pretend like it's not insane for the Outlook Android app to have no ability to change the font normally.
