[Patentcenter] Aptos font in DOCX

When I uploaded a file to Patent Center in DOCX format, I got an error message rejecting the document, saying it contained a font that isn't in the USPTO's list of acceptable fonts.  Gee, I've always found Century Schoolbook more legible than Times New Roman, but now it's disfavored.

My curiosity was piqued when I saw a notice from the USPTO that they've added Aptos to their list of acceptable fonts for DOCX.  I never liked the look of Calibri on my screen, but now I find that just this June, Microsoft ditched Calibri as the default font for its application,s in favor of one that it's renamed "Aptos."  And to me it seems to look a bit better than Calibri.  So it looks like I'll be installing Aptos on my computers now.

Anybody have any experiences to report when installing Aptos recently"?
