# Support for font styles in output captions
<a name="support-for-font-styles-in-output-captions"></a>

Depending on the scenario, there are three possibilities for the font style for output captions:
+ You can specify the style you want for fonts, including color, outline, and background color.
+ The font styles in the input are passed through.
+ The font styles are controlled by the downstream player.
