Hello mate, :-)

I haven't tested this below in Windows 11 yet, but you could try it if wanted. Be sure to create a restore point first incase you need to undo it.

I'm assuming you already tried different font's. I'm currently using the quicksand font and it works fine.

Yes I have tried several but nothing changes. When I change it, the font of the text contained in the Outlook messages changes (!).

Font has to be installed for the change to happen, can you try Arial Bold to see it will work.

How i can check the font name for sure ? Because the primary language of Windows is Greek.

Sounds like Bug Locker gets to be one of those unlucky few with a weird quirk no one else experiences or knows how to help with. I hate those kind of problems and know the feeling. I still can't get my Tobii eye tracker drivers to reinstall after a year now. I gave up and will live without the Windows Hello feature on my Alienware PC. Guess your stuck at default font for the time being.🙁
