Problem with Plex Experience and Hebrew subtitles in tvOS and iOS

Plex Experience Preview

When I play and a movie with Hebrew subtitles on my Apple TV and iPhone in “Automatic” mode, the punctuation marks (commas, dashes) appear reversed, some characters are replaced with strange glyphs, and the font itself looks very thin.

Version; 2025.23.0

Here’s a screenshot of the subtitles, where you can see the reversed punctuation and the strange glyph glitches in the font itself:

This issue was reported multiple times when the Enhanced Player was released, and it took several years to get resolved. I hope it will be addressed before the new Plex Experience is launched.

Thank you for all the help.
