    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.

    A probable solution to the default font problem in Illustrator.

    I had a shot at creating a plugin that fixes this slightly irritating problem and I think Ive got something that works.
    It's called Default Font Setter.
    Simple install: Quit Illustrator, Unzip the file, take the folder containing the extension and put it in the CEP folder. Thats usually here in a mac...
    Users/(insert name of user here)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions. Restart Illustrator,

    Not sure where in a PC sorry!

    Then restart Illustrator and you can find it in Extensions under the Window pulldown.
    When launched theres a few selections like - choose a font , choose a size, I always leave "Auto applyfor new documents" on then just click "Save as default"
    The next click of your Text Tool activates as that font. Then with each new document just click on " Apply" and it resets Myriad to whatever you select in the font choice window.
    It should be dockable, it should be resizable to a point. I couldnt make it super resizable as theres adobe restrictions it seems.

    But it works for me. If you'd like to vibe code it up to do other things Ive made the code super friendly for Claude re-editing.

    couldnt agree more. I suggest asking claude to make a plugin that removes extraneous "new improvements" and of course stupid unused old ones. Ive actually had some success with that.

  2. Add a user defined circle area on canvas to enable command/option controls such as drag copy
