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?

    You should not have the right to change people's document fonts across the board without having a way for them to revert back to what they like. this font is awful and harder on the eyes and i don't want to use it and should not be forced to nor should all my documents from the past revert to this. My documents and sheets and emails should remain as they were, and new one's should be created in the format that I created as my normal. not in some arbitrary decision that your company makes to wreak havoc on everyone. If you make a change, we should have the option to accept it or not. Now we all have spend hours to fix all of our documents and sheets and emails and change all the default settings or template settings to undo something we did not ask for. what is wrong with your company now. your directors need to give their heads a shake.

    Tracy,

    The people who read your messages in this forum do not make decisions on behalf of Microsoft; we are your fellow users.

    That said, I agree that Microsoft should avoid "invasive" modifications in the default formatting.

    Yes - existing documents are reformatted with gibberish. This is a ridiculous stunt.

    That suggests a different, more serious problem. You should start a separate thread.
