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?

It keeps reverting back to Aptos. No matter how many times, I change to Calibri, it keeps going back. Please fix it so I can use the font that I want, one that I can actually read as Aptos is horrible.
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.
That's kinda funny. I'm just hoping MS uses this forum to train Copilot, and the general disgust bleeds into the algorithm.
nothing like starting your day t0o see that microsoft just totally screwed up all my docs and emails and provides no way to reset. after an hour I'm looking into google.
Suggestion box item for Microsoft: Please give us the option to permanently change the default font and styles
