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 this issue for emails that are sent to me from Outlook app. Any email sent from outlook app shows up as Aptos 12 font. How do I change that? The outlook app has a default font setting of Calibri 11 but when the email arrives into my outlook on windows, the font changes to Aptos 12.

    When you open an Office App, it notifies you that the default theme has changed and that Aptos is the new font. There's a link to 'learn more' which takes you to the MS website, where there is another link telling you about the 'history of Aptos' and how we got here. However, the link is a blog post listing 5 possible fonts for the new Office, of which Aptos is not even one of them.

    Hi everyone.

    I have found another change that fixed the Aptos pasting issue and Aptos being used to display text only messages.

    You need to reset the Style Set after change the Font Theme before setting as default.

    All explained in the updated blog post
