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?

This didn't work. New files still default to the dreaded Aptos, and Adobe PDF doesn't recognize Aptos. I do not like Aptos.
This new font is not only harder to read, having the body of the message in the middle of the email is horrible. Please let MC know they need to revert back or at minium has an option to globally keep the previous options that were fine.
I can't see why Microsoft acting like a dictator is FORCING us to use Aptos. I deal with Govt. departments who specify their font and get really annoyed when your applications change the font. So changing them back wastes time.
Also I have templates that are set up for Calibri that are now out-of-whack and I have to waste hours fixing the templates.
Microsoft's decision to screw everyone by forcing this change is unwelcome and looks like an ego trip for one of your executives. Just because microsoft like it in the US, doesn't mean that others do around the world, which goes to show microsoft arrogance, ignorance and disregard for others. As a result, I have no respect for anyone in microsoft and I can understand why people target Americans, you're just plain rude and egotistical.
The solution would be to allow people to change this dictatorial decision and enable a font to be set across the system rather than for each application individually and also to remove the Cloud fonts.
Why on earth does Microsoft not give users an option to accept ANY of their so-called upgrades? Each one like this imposition of Aptos seems to screw up my workload, imposes an additional unwanted diversion and functionality!
Yeah, the subscription model is quite annoying. Things Just Happen. As a corporate user, I have to take the lumps. But I also have a Microsoft family account, and there are valid alternatives to that.
