    The latest Illustrator release - v29.3 now offers 'Preview Missing Fonts' functionality to improve your experience when working with files that contain unavailable fonts.

    If you open a file with missing fonts, Illustrator will now render the text correctly in Preview Mode on the artboard, even if the fonts are not installed on your system. This ensures the files appear as intended without requiring immediate font installation.

    For more details and help, please see this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/find-missing-fonts.html

    you can open an AI file in Acrobat
    - then open the Flattener preview
    - check the box next to "convert all text to outlines"
    - click "apply"
    - save the ai as a pdf
    - open the pdf in Adobe illustrator

    done
    (but it would be best if Adobe Illustrator had an option to do it while opening the file)
