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?

    Hi there, the option to set as default in Outlook isn't available for me. Is there another way to make the change stick?

    Dear Microsoft, Aptos is a downgrade. Please revert to Calibri (better yet, design a more accessible font and make that the default).

    The exact steps will depend on your version of Outlook. For example, in the New Outlook, use the font options at Settings > Mail > Compose and reply.

    I don't understand what is going one on this people head.

    I have to change the letter type in all emails.

    Please revert this nonsense ASAP.
