Fontsize of Calendars in Outlook 2013 sometimes switches back to default

Hello!

I use a customized font and fontsize in my outlook calendars. That worked quite good, but sometimes when i open outlook, the font and fontsize is switched back to the default settings. In the last week that happened more often than the weeks before.

Where are those settings saved? In the registry or in the Outlook PST File? My idea was to set the calendar font size in the registry and remove the write permissions after that, so that they cannot change back...

Does someone else experienced that problem or has a solution?

Regards,

Hi,

The Calendar Font setting is saved in the Outlook Data File. Once we reset the View of Outlook, the custom view settings including the Font setting are lost.

Make sure you haven't done these steps below, or you will lose the font setting:

1. When viewing the calendar, click the "Reset View" button.

2. Start Outlook with the "/cleanviews" switch.

Both steps above may let you lose the font setting.

Please also make sure there's no application except Outlook has access to your Outlook Data Files(.pst and .ost), 3rd-party programs that has access to Outlook Data Files may cause the issue as well.

In case the data file is already corrupted, run Scanpst.exe to scan and repair it to check if the problem will come back again. You can find the Scanpst.exe tool from one of the links below, depending on your Outlook and Windows version:

32-bit Windows C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
64-bit Windows C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15
64-bit Outlook C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
Click-to-Run C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15

I hope the information is helpful.
