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?

    I have set-up all my Microsoft apps to use any font other than the sickly Aptos but no matter what I do Microsoft keeps inserting the disgusting Aptos into items, for example copy and paste into a new spreadsheet, send within Foxit the pdf as an attachment to an Outlook email. I need to be in control of my laptop and need to delete all traces of Aptos and while we are at it there are also the bug-like Bing and Edge

    Go to Settings > Personalization > Fonts > expand 'Related settings' > Go to Adjust ClearType Text.

    Do the process of selecting what seems best to you

    restart everything.

    Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but did you check if Immersive Reader was turned on? It would have this effect on all new and existing emails.

    Underlining in Aptos is frustratingly pathetic, barely visible. Calibri is overall much better font. Have reverted in Word via Design > Themes > Office 2013 - 2022 Theme, then clicked 'Set as Default' on ribbon.

    @Guido2010.... thank you, thank you, thank you!! Finally a fix in Word. Hopefully everyone reads this.
