    The team has started working on this.

    If you have some ideas on how it should work — it’s time to discuss it.

    Remember, text has more parameters than just font family and size. Document Profiles allow to set any of these using text styles, but editing the profiles them is a long journey. Doubling all parameters would be cumbersome.

    How should it differ compared to InDesign’s approach? What other default parameters other than font would you need to alter and how should the solution would apply to those? Please help to make properly.

    This has been an unresolved hassle since Illustrator 3 at least, and I don't think Adobe takes it seriously.

    It is a daily hassle: no I don't want to use Myriad Pro, and I spend 2-3 mins every time I first open a file in Illustrator fixing it, only to find I have to do it again 30 mins later.

    Yes there's a fix, but it doesn't stick through updates. And it's unnecessarily convoluted. If you can ask me whether to "Select Same Tint %" in the general preferences, you can ask which font should be the default. Guess which one is more useful.
