Default Office theme uses Times New Roman everywhere, not Calibri
- Dec 26, 2016
What helped in my case was deleting default templates in "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates" changing the default language to "English US" or similar in Office 2016 Language Preferences, followed by opening Word and Outlook (to re-create default templates). I had "English Europe" set as default editing language, Office installation picked-it up from regional settings. This seems to have caused the Office to fall back to "Times New Roman".

Changing language from English (Germany) to English (United States) in Word language options resolves the issue also for me. I'd be interested in knowing if this application behavior is expected and desired or should be considered a bug for submission to the Office 365 bug backlog.
When language is set to "English (Germany)" no matter what "Fonts" setting from "Design" ribbon is selected, it changes nothing of the default +Body and +Heading font. Why have the "Fonts" setting?

My system language was "English (Germany)" and the default Office font turned out to be Times New Roman. Quite ugly I must say. - DeletedJan 09, 2019
So, this bug is still existing and reproducable
Is Microsoft going to fix this ?
