Changing subtitle font

[24bit192khz]

hi
i'v been using mpc hc my whole life and i'm used to calibri font but I didn't find anyway to change the font in jellyfin in windows, I can only change the size and color.
i'm running it using docker but it seems that the app has it's own settings and fonts

Are your subtitles SRT?

[24bit192khz]

mostly yes and it's what i'm planing to change since .ass comes with it's own font

Sorry. Lost track of this. Also couldn't find any SRT subs in my library (all ASS/PGS/DVD).

You can try embedding the font you want to use into your media files as an attachment. This is common for ASS subs. I'm not sure if this also works for SRT subs, but its work a try.

Is there any other way? I use Bazarr, and my system is fully automated. I don't want to do that for every subtitle; that would defeat the purpose of having an automated system. I only want to change it in the Windows app.

When you say "Windows app" I am assuming you mean Jellyfin Media Player.  If so, there MIGHT be a way to change how it behaves. I've only used this once to test issues with ASS subs, so I don't know how this interacts with SRT subs.
