You can change the subtitle style in tvOS Settings, to one of a limited number of fonts. And third party apps may have their own alternate style (“Video Overrides Style”), or third party apps may ignore the device settings and force their own style.

It depends on the app in which you wish to see subtitles or captions.

The TV app follows the setting when I try that (Courier).

The Movies app follows the setting.

The Amazon Prime Video app follows the setting.

The Computers app does not follow the setting.

The Netflix app does not follow the setting.


I only tested Latin script. It may be different for other scripts.
