Hi ,

The default font settings in Outlook 2002 is stored in the following registry key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\C ommon\MailSettings

ComposeFontSimple - The composing new message font.
ReplyFontSimple - The reply and forwarding font.
TextFontSimple - The plain text font.

Some of these values may not be visible if you did not change their corresponding setting in step 1. This is due to the fact that these
values are hidden until you change the default font set by Outlook.

We can add the registry key to the client via GPO to set the default font for Outlook. Following is the key steps.

1. On the terminal server, login one of the users. Open Outlook 2002. Go to the Tools menu - Options - Mail Format - Fonts to
set the default fonts.
2. Exit Outlook 2002. Open the registry editor and locate the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0
\Common\MailSettings
3. Right click on the 'MailSettings' key on the left hand side of the registry editor and select 'Export'. Enter a file name and save the
FONT.reg file.
4. Right click on the file FONT.reg and select 'Edit'. This should open notepad. Edit the reg file so it will only create the desired
values.

ComposeFontSimple - The composing new message font.
ReplyFontSimple - The reply and forwarding font.
TextFontSimple - The plain text font.

5. Add this registry key to all the users via GPO.

Note: The registry key for Outlook 2003 is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\C ommon\MailSettings

What is the result?

If anything is unclear or if you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
