Hi Scott,
Thanks for your reply.
Maybe I didn't describe it in details. The Outlook default font setting is not in the Administrative Templates (Outlook10.adm). However,
we can workaround it by adding the registry file to the GPO to do so.
Thus, we can set the default font settings in Outlook for all users with Group Policy.
I understand that you will ask the user to change the default font setting manually instead of deploying the registry key file. If you have
any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. It is always my pleasure to be of assistance.
Have a nice day!
Best regards,
Emily Lin
