When will Aptos be the Microsoft default font?

Question

Is Microsoft sill going to make Aptos the default font? I changed my default font in OneNote to be Aptos in anticipation of the change Microsoft announted in mid-2023. However, when I copy and paste, the pasted text revert to Calibri 11 which throws off the formating and I have to reformate.

If Microsoft is going to stick with Calibri in 2026, I am going to reset my default font to Calibri so I can stop doing all this additional work.

Thank you!

Microsoft has announced that Aptos will be the new default font to replace Calibri, but there is no specific timeline provided for when this change will take effect as the default font in all applications. Currently, Calibri remains the default font until the transition is fully implemented. If you are experiencing issues with pasted text reverting to Calibri, it may be due to the current settings in the applications you are using, which still default to Calibri until the official switch to Aptos occurs.

If you prefer to avoid formatting issues, resetting your default font to Calibri might be a practical solution until Aptos becomes the default across all Microsoft applications.
