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?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Apparently Microsoft doesn't read ANY of this--this form is strictly for users helping other users. We have to give feedback directly in the app or program we're concerned with if we want them to know. I have already done it.
Stefan, this is not really helpful, because I don't have the time to enter sub-menus of sub-menus to click on something, change something, and save it. And then have to do that not just for the body of texts, but also for headers. And then I have to do that in every friggin MS app, one at a time... Maybe for you, it's easy, but for me it's not. Why are they trying to force an ugly and difficult-to-read font down our throats universally in all applications?? Ugh.
Easy, buddy. Stefan is trying to help with the tools he has. Microsoft will make decisions like this for us from time to time, and we've always had to deal with it. Anybody find the new functionality of comments useful? Not I... and when I got that sorted, my fonts broke everywhere, and now I follow this thread.
Your next steps are:
And thank you, Stefan for continuing to support this community.
My team is using Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides 80% of the time now. It's much easier.
Well, nobody in the forums can change how Word and Outlook actually operate. We can only make suggestions based on the settings offered within the programs.
