Reverting Aptos +body/+headings font back to Calibri, or using any other font

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?

    In the classic Outlook for Windows, click File > Options > Mail > Stationery and Fonts. Modify the fonts as desired.

    P.S. I agree that Microsoft changing the default Theme is not a good idea. It would be better if they provided an updated Theme without messing with the existing one.

    Who at Microsoft implemented this change? This person should be paddled and sent tf home. I work with so many spreadsheets that and every time I update a new tab, it comes in Aptos so I have older tabs in Calibri and newer tabs in Aptos. It just looks messy and unprofessional which I guess is what Microsoft was trying to achieve. Blame that slob Fetterman

    If they would make this font available to the system that would be great. Problem is that people convert documents to other formats that also need this font. It really is 100% useless if I can't use it in other apps.

    Thank you for all these.

    However is it possible to change the font back to calibri in Access?

    Aptos just doesn't work - it makes everything way harder to read.

    Thanks

    "File > Options > General and choose the desired font and size"

    This option does not exist in macOS Excel.
