Subtitle option to choose custom fonts for subtitles through the server web ui:
I can change the default font by removing all fonts from "/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Fonts/" in plex docker container, and place my custom font there. but everytime I update the container, old fonts are copied to the directory, so i have to do it all over. this is not a problem with SSA/ASS inside MKV with fonts attached, but when using SRT files, the default plex font is used.
the reason is that the font for arabic charecters is very bad and takes more space than normal fonts would. for example, the following is a comparison between the default and a custom font I use:
There’s an existing feature suggestion asking for more options to customize subtitles. I suggest you vote/comment in that thread to avoid distracting/dispersing votes and attentions (which happens with duplicate suggestions).
