Sir Topham Hatt Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Following on from THIS THREAD and THIS WEBSITE, it appears Microsoft have officially replaced Calibri in Office. "Aptos, previously known as Bierstadt, was introduced in 2023 as the new default font for the Microsoft Office suite, replacing the previously used Calibri font." They actually replaced it in July but I'm surprised they haven't updated everyone's Office 365 to reflect this. Maybe I missed this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon H Supervisor Posted October 12, 2023 Supervisor Share Posted October 12, 2023 yeah I thought this change happened already too. just checked though and it's still defaulting to Calibri for me at work guess this wasn't as important of a change as adding a toggle to make Office open everything in Edge was ... /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astra.Xtreme Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) Aptos looks like a nice font. Easier to distinguish between a lowercase l and uppercase I. Also doesn't appear to have obvious ligatures, which is an annoying part of Calibri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+devHead Subscriber² Posted October 13, 2023 Subscriber² Share Posted October 13, 2023 It's a good quality font. I set it as the default in Word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
