When I add text in an Adobe Illustrator 2023 document it defaults to Myriad Roman, which is not installed on my computer. So I get the pink text box. And oftentimes type and labels that are in Myriad Pro Regular (which is my supposedly default font) will change to Myriad Roman for no reason. Does anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it? I'm on a Macbook Pro, Apple M1 chip, Sonoma 14.6.1, Illustrator 2023. Thanks.

Hi @rickz70918812,
I can understand how frustrating it must be to deal with the text changing to a font that’s not even installed on your computer! To help resolve this issue, I recommend removing Myriad from your Font Book and then going to the Adobe Fonts page. From there, try disabling and then re-enabling the Myriad font family. This can often refresh the font settings and might help fix the problem.
If you need any further assistance, feel free to ask! 😊
Best,
Anshul Saini

The default font for Illustrator 2023 is MyriadPro-Regular.
MyriadPro-Regular is built into Illustrator 2023, but Myriad Roman was the default font in previous versions of Illustrator.
Is it possible that the fact that Myriad Roman is currently displayed in the font list as an unavailable font is a bug in Illustrator.
For these reasons, I recommend reinstalling Illustrator and resetting preferences.
MyriadPro-Regular can be found here.
'/Applications//Adobe Illustrator 2023/Adobe Illustrator.app/Contents/Required/Fonts/
MyriadPro-Regular will appear in the font list even if you only have the standard fonts for macOS (which does not include MyriadPro-Regular).
If I add the MyriadPro family to My Fonts.
