How to Change the Default Font Face and Size in Outlook

When you installed Outlook, it set the font for composing (as for reading) mail to "Calibri" or "Arial" — and "tiny". If this is not your typesetting dream team, you can adjust the font settings to suit your needs better. Recipients of your emails will be happier, too.

Of course, you can change the default mail font in Outlook to anything you want. Smaller, fancier, bigger, or more conventional — Outlook accepts them all.
