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?

    Make sure that you send feedback to Microsoft developers, using the feedback facility in your version of Word.

    It keeps reverting back to Aptos. No matter how many times, I change to Calibri, it keeps going back. Please fix it so I can use the font that I want, one that I can actually read as Aptos is horrible.

    It is so sad that Microsoft has chosen the Aptos font as the new norm!!! It is difficult to read and hard on my eyes.

    I have set Calibri as my default font in Outlook, Word, and Excel, but have found that MANY times, especially when using the paste function the text is pasted in Aptos.

    Could I remove the Aptos font from all Microsoft products without causing other problems? If so, how do I do that?
