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?

Diane,
Thank you for replying. I tried to follow your instructions, but when I went to change the font, the default line was greyscaled and would not allow me to set my desired font as the default. I am using Office Home version not Office 365. Does that make a difference?

All of my Draft Outlook emails that previously used multiple fonts and are now unusable.
I don't know why draft messages would be affected by format changes. This may very well be a bug. Report it using the feedback facility in your version of Outlook.

This is a very helpful thread (my work comp recently changed everything to Aptos and I absolutely hate it).
From this thread I have figured out how to get Outlook, Word, and Excel to use the Calibri theme again by default.
Is there a similar solution for powerpoint?
Why do they think people are stupid enough not to care? Oh right, they really are.
