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?

    Who at Microsoft implemented this change? This person should be paddled and sent tf home. I work with so many spreadsheets that and every time I update a new tab, it comes in Aptos so I have older tabs in Calibri and newer tabs in Aptos. It just looks messy and unprofessional which I guess is what Microsoft was trying to achieve. Blame that slob Fetterman

    You're here to help?

    Stop rolling out these unwanted 'soft' chgs.

    Those who do it, set the font that is the most readable to us, whatever it is & often did it yrs ago & have forgotten all the steps to reset.

    This type of thing isn't a patch or any kind of functional upgrade...this is simply MS being jerks.

    On a new install, whatever...set the default to Aptos, but leave existing installs alone.

    I'd like a response on exactly how MS thinks this is acceptable?

    You won't get a reply from Microsoft here. Microsoft developers won't even read these forums.

    What you can do is post feedback from within an Office application.
