The intended way of setting a default font is to edit document profiles. These files are located in folders like 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2023\Support Files\Required\New Document Profiles\[language]\' on Windows and 'Macintosh HD > Applications ▸ Adobe Illustrator 2020 > Support Files > New Document Profiles > [language]' on Macs.
Make a copy of the one you want to use someplace else, open it in Illustrator, make your changes, replace the original and then use it when creating a new file.
There are many tutorials on the web about managing these, like this one: https://productivista.com/new-document-profiles-saves-your-default-settings/
However, this way indeed is not the most discoverable. Please continue to vote and leave comments if you want this to be improved.

An error occurred while saving the comment You can change the default font by modifying a default character style in a document profile, in a way described here.
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/fonts-faq.html#change-default-font
After doing this once and setting all other settings, like swatches, graphic styles, symbols,, backup the file, because Ai will overwrite it the next update.True, not the most fast way to change the defaults. Takes some time to set one up and restore. But do you change them that often?
Voted anyway :)

An error occurred while saving the comment @darronboden1, I’ve split the original entry to detach the 'request' part of it from the 'bug report' part of it. 'One thing per entry', makes it acceptable for tracking, reviewing, fixing. Piling all eggs into one basket makes it unmanageable.
The request is marked as completed (because the major part of the functionality is there now), but the bug is obviously NOT fixed.
Alas, it seems to be finicky to reproduce, I personally can’t make it happen... Hope is still there to catch this bug.An error occurred while saving the comment Am I right thinking that you select some dimension objects, then press Enter (or click the gear button in the floating panel, or double-click the Dimension Tool button in the tool panel), and then try to edit some options in the dialog window, expecting these changes to apply to these dimensions you have selected?
As for the scale — there is a way to change the scale of these, so that all size are bigger or larger.
Please reply. -

Illustrator has also a Polygon live shape. With only three sides used, it becomes a live triangle. If you have drawn a triangle manually (and it a regular one), you can always convert it into a live shape, using Object > Shape > Convert to Shape menu command.
An error occurred while saving the comment However, if you need to specify a triangle with specific angles or sides — please take a look at this request:

An error occurred while saving the comment Ben, when I need one, I use ellipse and set its pie parameters.
Then cut, delete, paste, join (this can be put into an action as well, I think).
Definitely faster then fiddling with lines and rotating!There are also several free script solutions the community built to help with creating triangles:
1. Triangle Maker (Side, Side, Angle) by Carlos Canto — https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/custom-angled-triangles-question/m-p/5628371/
2. Triangle Maker (Side, Angle, Angle), same author :)
These two place and rotate the triangle a bit oddly for me persoanlly, but the code can be corrected.
3. JET_RightTriangle.jsx — no longer available publicly, since JET decided to remove and forbid his scripts from the webAnyway, the request is still solid. Ai definitely could use a native tool to do it form the box.

The team has made fixes related to this problem.
Many script commands that were causing this error now won’t trigger it. Two commands though, Last Filter and Apply Last Filter would still give error because they are not exposed on UI as well.
An error occurred while saving the comment 29.4 build should get this fix, coming shortly.
Please thoroughly test it when it comes out and comment back if it’s truly patched.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Rhico, there is an existing bug report on the topic: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/43293630
Does the workaround mentioned there help, to launch Ai from the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app?As for the last comment — ah, nice one.
I trust this place more than Ai to handle it though, won’t you agree? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Jassin, it seems like somehow Bounding Box got disabled for you... Perhaps you pressed Ctrl+Shift+B occasionally? Try to press it again, or use View > Show Bounding Box command to activate it.
Please comment back! -

An error occurred while saving the comment Do you work with a network folder maybe? A cloud-managed folder?
Does this happen for PSD files only? What about PNG, PSD, JPEG?
Do you have other computers, non-M3 Macbooks to test these? Perhaps someone with Windows?
So far I don’t think it can be reproduced :( -

An error occurred while saving the comment Ian, don’t get it. You try to open Character and Paragraph panels, but the 3D one gets open instead? Opens or replaces these?
Do they refuse to open and open as blank? Can you share a screenshot or a video of this strange behavior, please? I try it and it works for me so far (although I’m on Windows, not Mac). -

An error occurred while saving the comment That’s a lot of feedback jumbled together! Thanks for taking your time to post this. Sadly UserVoice currently doesn’t allow to split ideas into several entries at once (only into two, and then each part can’t be split anymore). Having these as separate entries would have helped to track interest and prioritize, and it feels like shorter condensed ideas attract more votes. It’d still matter when and if any work starts on these again, but in future please to log things separately!
On the topic.
Gradient Mesh is an old tool and it definitely needs upgrading. Basically, Freeform Gradient was an attempt to harness the power of triangular mesh, making it dynamic, controlled by the, well, control points.
However, meshes are still the secret weapon. You only need the keys — and thanks gods we have the unique and free MeshTormentor plugin, that adds all the missing functions to control meshes fully.
It covers like 85% of things you asked for here: grid tessellations, conversions, better envelopes... I can’t recommend t enough.Fitting a linear gradient into a trapezoid — possible natively with envelopes, greatly improved with MeshTormentor.
Multiple linear gradients — possible natively with Appearance panel.
Straight lines within freeform gradients — interesting, I don’t recall anyone asking for this and I see a merit for sure. If I had to pick to extract only one request from this manifesto, I’d pick this one (maybe I should?)Anyway, again, thank you. Please don’t stop :)

An error occurred while saving the comment Whitney, but Ai has the dedicated Rotate tool, that allows to rotate a subset of points and set a rotation pivot...
Do you ask for something more than it does, or is it good enough for your needs?

An error occurred while saving the comment One report per entry :D UserVoice don’t allow to split entries into more than two at the moment.
These were reported as separate things, please upvote them.Extremely thinning lines have these artifacts with protruding triangles: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/43599603
The one about tiny irregularities was filed several times, and I intend to merge these.

An error occurred while saving the comment Stephen, if you do still have the file — please share it.
I understand it’s been almost (omg) 7 years since then, but perhaps you have it archived?
If anything like this happens again — don’t hesitate to provide a file immediately (and share you full specs, because computers differ). -

An error occurred while saving the comment ...and even if it’s all OK with their appearances — a file is definitely needed to investigate it further then. You don’t diagnose a car by supplying a photo of it only, I guess :)
An error occurred while saving the comment Have you checked what Appearance panel shows for these strokes, each one?
Path can have many strokes applied, and I’m suggesting at least one of these have two — that’s why I ask you to share the file. It’s vector art, after all, and Illustrator allows to make rendered look of it very complex and intricate with Appearance.An error occurred while saving the comment Josiah, I have some guesses on why...
Can you please share a test file to check, with these tow paths within it? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Lisa, which method do you use? Export, Save As, Export Assets? Can you share a test file along with a screenshot of settings used?
Donna, I checked older versions, starting with Ai1.
Indeed Ai10 allowed to make changes within Character panel with no documents opened, and the choice persisted.
Later versions keep the panel disabled — but unlike Ai10, they have text styles. Changing a default paragraph style just by fiddling with the panel for all the new documents seems quite reckless from a first glance... but there should be definitely a way to do it faster, I agree! Perhaps a warning should be put in all places where we can change the font parameters, to inform users this would change the settings... but then again — WHICH of the document profiles this change would modify? Print? Web? Illustration? Ai has several now, while Ai10 had just none.
