At some point in the last couple of days, the default +body/+headings font on my copy of Office 365 changed to the Aptos font. I honestly find it a bit hard to read, and I'd rather choose my default body font from a choice of whatever fonts I have installed. Failing that, I'd take Calibri again. The Aptos font reminds me a lot of
Since this affects all Office products, I can't say go into Outlook and change the stationery fonts; this doesn't impact the Reading Pane. It also wouldn't impact say Word, where I'd have to come up with my own document template to override the change. It doesn't seem to be a registry edit or template file edit, either. Is there a spot that the Aptos font can be changed?

Why do they think people are stupid enough not to care? Oh right, they really are.
The update automatically changed ALL of my default displays to Aptos 12 points and stopped loading my Normal and Excel start-up templates.
All of my Draft Outlook emails that previously used multiple fonts and are now unusable.
Completely unacceptable.
Stefan,
Thank very much for responding. It is frustrating that Microsoft insists on imposing Aptos as its default font and refuses to allow users to permanently change the default font. It is a waste of my time having to change the font for every document I send in Outlook.

The help page clearly says that the default font for Office 365 is Calibri 11. If your apps show a different font, there surely must be a system error!
I expect the Microsoft Office 365 team to provide us with a fix for this ASAP. Although Norton 360 didn't detect any shady activities, I already uninstalled this Aptos font from my system (wasn't easy, these hackers are sketchy!), so it won't plague me anymore.
When you use the Change Styles commands, make sure that the insertion point is in the text of the e-mail you are composing.
In particular, the insertion point must not be inside the fields for recipients or subject.
