I think this has been explained from MS and how to achieve it.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/office-suite-issues/set-default-font
Generally, we can do the following settings about the default Font for different Office applications:
Word 2016:
Open Word and start with a clean new document.
Hit CTRL-D to start the Font settings.
Set your Font of choice and hit “Set as Default”
“Save as” the document to Normal.dotm
Copy this Normal.dotm file to “%appdata%\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm” and replace the old one.
Outlook 2016:
Set the font in Outlook on a clean machine by going to Options -> Stationary and fonts… in Outlook. Close Outlook.
On this Machine, go to “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\MailSettings”.
Export by right click on the MailSettings folder.
Then you can push/import this MailSettings registry value to your wanted computer.
You can set the MailSettings above to the path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\MailSettings
The main registry values are:
Value name: “ComposeFontComplex”
Value name: “ComposeFontSimple”
Value name: “CReplyFontComplex”
Value name: “ReplyFontSimple”
Value name: “TextFontComplex”
Value name: “TextFontSimple”
Excel 2016:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Excel\Options
Value name: Font
Value type: REG_SZ
Value: Font,11
Note: In Excel it is possible to set the font through a GPO: “\Microsoft Excel 2016\Excel Options\General\Font”
