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?

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

Sorry, but Microsoft developers do not follow the forum. You can send suggestions using the feedback facility in affected Office programs. Or you can use the feedback site at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/fb6d67e3-301c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472.
You should not have the right to change people's document fonts across the board without having a way for them to revert back to what they like. this font is awful and harder on the eyes and i don't want to use it and should not be forced to nor should all my documents from the past revert to this. My documents and sheets and emails should remain as they were, and new one's should be created in the format that I created as my normal. not in some arbitrary decision that your company makes to wreak havoc on everyone. If you make a change, we should have the option to accept it or not. Now we all have spend hours to fix all of our documents and sheets and emails and change all the default settings or template settings to undo something we did not ask for. what is wrong with your company now. your directors need to give their heads a shake.
You're here to help?
Stop rolling out these unwanted 'soft' chgs.
Those who do it, set the font that is the most readable to us, whatever it is & often did it yrs ago & have forgotten all the steps to reset.
This type of thing isn't a patch or any kind of functional upgrade...this is simply MS being jerks.
On a new install, whatever...set the default to Aptos, but leave existing installs alone.
I'd like a response on exactly how MS thinks this is acceptable?
