Outlook 365 Program Font

Question

I have set my preferred font for my email messages, but I want the fonts of the navigation pane, etc., to match it.

There is a registry key that may be promising.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Experiment\outlook

specifies the language Outlook uses. If I insert a new key there, "Font" and specify my preferred font, will that be effective or will I

(a) brick my entire machine?

(b) make Outlook unusable?

(c) disappear and never be heard from again?

Alternately, does anyone know how I can accomplish this with a registry hack? Something must be telling Outlook what font to use for the program's display.

Thanks.

Hello Word,

It won't do anything - its not a key/value supported by outlook. The fonts in the folder list and interface aren't changeable.
