A few weeks ago I reported two display issues to the Access team that had started after the new Aptos font Office theme was released in version 2308.
I'm using the Beta version of Office (now on 2311) and at the time of reporting the issues, I was the only person to have done so.
The issues now seem to be becoming more widely noticed as others progress to v2309 or later.
The problems are:
1. When the navigation pane is minimized, the vertical text appears to be compressed or in a strange script:
Also reported in a thread at: Experts Exchange and since confirmed by another MVP.
2. Databases that used the default Calibri font (probably the vast majority), now have some command buttons changed to System font and some textboxes/labels/ combos etc changed to MS Sans Serif. In many forms, only a few controls are affected. In others like the form below, almost all control fonts get changed and the text may not fit in the space provided. For example:
Also reported at Labels text on my forms changed to MS SANS SERIF (accessforums.net); Font Changed to "System" on Buttons | Access World Forums (access-programmers.co.uk); Access Won't Use Calibri Font | Access World Forums (access-programmers.co.uk)
If you are on 2308 or later and experiencing either or both of these issues please respond below stating your Access version, build, bitness and release channel
e.g. mine is currently 365 version 2311 Build 16926.20000 Click to Run 32-bit Beta Channel as shown on my version checker (which thankfully isn't affected by this glitch)
