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?

    Word for the web provides very limited customization options.

    What you can do is format a text range in the desired font and then update the Normal style to match the selection.

    Also, you can send feedback from within Word for the web using Help > Feedback. Or you can post in the public feedback portal at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/fb6d67e3-301c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472.

    My issue is I'm using word online and I dont have those options.

    After working on a multi page document to discover word online has been creating inconsistencies in my font by changing it to aptos is maddening.

    I've had to ctrl+a and change all the font everywhere and then go back through an redo all my headings.

    Just to make it worse, I just pressed enter. The line I pressed entry from is using Calibri and the new line is Aptos. The best part is if I press the down arrow, the line below is Calibri as well. Where is it pulling aptos from, and how do I kill it.

    Amazing how when Microsoft wants to change the font everywhere, they simply do it. Yet when we want to do the same, it is technically not possible.

    Why do they think people are stupid enough not to care? Oh right, they really are.

    Stupid enough to change all my time-consuming setting back to Aptos at the last update.....

    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?
