Why Default Fonts Automatically Change?

Hi friends, 

 

I often times find a default font in my worksheets having automatically changed to some other fonts, which really puzzles me. 

 

In the preferences section, I had preset the default font as Calibri, but, for no apparent reason, certain cells' font had changed to Arial Unicode MS in worksheets without my knowledge. 

 

Even after I had made font changes to Calibri, when I came back to relevant cells in a while, the font was changed to Arial Unicode MS. 

 

Is there any way that I can prevent automatic font changes? 

 

I look forward to your advice. 

 

Many thanks in advance. 

 

P.S. My current workbook with the font problem had been created in Excel 2010 and I currently use Excel 2019, FYI.

    Perhaps cell formatting or cell style were applied to these cells, even if they looks like empty.

      I understand.

      But when I select all cells and change the cell formatting so that the font changes to calibri, the fonts should overwrite previous fonts. Isn't it the case?
