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?

    I totally agree. This sucks. In the overall, I don't have too much of a problem with the way Aptos looks, except I convert a lot of emails to PDF. Adobe Acrobat absolutely HATES Aptos and always errors out so I have to go in and manually change it. SUCKS.

    WHY would Office do such a thing!

    In Excel, if you enter an amount in GBP (£) and then set the cell formatting to 'Accounting', the '£' symbol is misaligned with the value in the cell (it's too high up).

    The '£' symbol is perfectly aligned in Calibri.

    I'm surprised this got through testing and QA before being rolled out into the live environment globally. I suspect that the '$' symbol is OK and that's all that mattered.

    Here's another annoyance - in Excel if you are in a worksheet set to use 'Calibri', and you go into Conditional Formatting and set the font colour to be a specific colour, Excel will show this colour in the preview window, but with the text 'Aptos Narrow', even though the font that the conditional formatting will use, will still be Calibri.
