Custom font for captions in a custom channel

Question

According to this posthow to display chinese closed captions - Roku Communityit seems like changing fonts for closed caption could be possible if the font is included in the channel. I've included the ttf file and used it to change interface fonts but couldn't figure out how to change closed caption fonts.&nbsp;It feels like it should be done with the&nbsp;CaptionStyle&nbsp;attribute of the Video object but I'm not sure how to achieve it since "Text/Font" entry doesn't seem to accept arbitrary Font objects. Any help would be appreciated!

Yes and this changes the background color of the subtitles. However, I wish to change the actual font to something like Arial for instance

Sorry, the Roku captions engine does not currently support using fonts other than the ones provided by the system.&nbsp; You should contact Partner Success about your request.
