I can't change the subtitle font of apple tv in windows

I install the apple tv on my windows 10. Some TV series' subtitle is in Simsun, it's very ugly on screen(I use Chinese simplflified). I want to ask how to change the font of subtitle. Or the app don't have this function?

I really need this? I want the subtitle in SimHei, Source Han Sans or any other Sans serif font.

Windows, Windows 6

The website tv.apple.com doesn’t allow for subtitle font specification, unfortunately. I would expect that the “preview” app would likely have a style function in its Settings, but I’m not in a position to verify that.


I think the site uses whatever the first fallback font is for glyphs that do not render in Helvetica, if I understand that part of the code correctly. That may not specify sans-serif though. You may give feedback about that.


On my Mac, SC appears to be rendered in PingFang SC (a bespoke font commissioned by Apple for macOS El Capitan 10.11 and later), which is sans-serif. Not sure how fallback fonts are selected by the browser or by the OS, when not specified in the web code.
