I would really like to change the default font in AI CC permanently on my PC. Please help!

I  followed the LONG trail of links and they end in complex changes in the system files or are obsolete because they are for CS6 and older. I would like a method that does not risk corrupting my files and is specific for the current CC

The New Document profiles are still current.

If you don't want to hack the Prefs file then this is the way to go.
