    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.

    Yes, 4 years later, im here voting for a simple fix. Careful tho, with the increased subscription cost they might use the money to make it even worse somehow. (like an ai tool that selects a new document font based on your mood but every time it just picks comic sans 256pt.). I honestly wish I could use my CS4 software with the permanent license, everything worked great back then, now we are paying more and way more often while functionality is consistently removed or muddled up. What gives?
