There have been many complaints about caption styling options over years and I've made my peace with Serif font and the even worse san serif font.
But I'm here to talk about text size. First of all Small & Extra Small are completely useless, not sure anyone bothers using those, please speak up if you do. Large can work for small sentences but usually anything more than 6 words is stretched across the TV screen to the point I have to physically turn my head to read the full dialogue, which makes Extra Large also useless.
Which leaves us with Medium text size, it's readable and handles heavy dialogue well enough, but you always wish it was a bit larger. Roku team, it took you years to add Bright White to the captions options, now it's time to add Extra Medium. 1-2 pts larger is all I'm asking for here, and honestly just copy Netflix's styling already. They have the right size and it's bold. Give use a Bold effect too. Rant over.
