Set Default Office Font with GPO ?

**Clarity** · 19-02-2008

I am about to install Office 2007 Enterprises in my office setup using GPO. The only thing I wanted to know is it possible we can set a default font on all PCs via GPO? If yes, please let me know how can I set Arial font default for all PCs.

Thank you.

Well buddy I could have helped you but the confusion for me is for which Office application you want to set the default font as Arial? Because as far as I know each application their own standards and methods for applying a style or a font. Also their setup use to be different that varies version to version

Thanks DYlAaN for your quick response. Actually I need to make Arial default font for each office application. I mean if a user opens Powerpoint, excel, word or even outlook, the font Aerial should be pre-selected.

Nope, I have pretty good knowledge Office and I don’t think that it is possible. There is not a single script or setting you can do to make it happen. Each applications in office, as DYIAaN said above, has its own method of deploying fonts and styles for them with their individual settings. So you can’t make it work on all pcs or each applications, neither via GPO or doing it individually.
