Thank you for leaving the issue.
We will support setting the subtitle font.
I don't know exactly, but I think the function can solve the problem.

Sadly, this isn't necessarily fixed by choosing a different font. I only tested a few fonts on the same media and still get the box or even a different character in that space. Due to this finding, this is simply a VLCKit issue and we can't do anything about it. However, you may be able to find a font that displays it correctly that I didn't test with.

I think that should be caused by the wrong font.
Swiftfin use fonts for traditional Chinese even when choosing a simplified Chinese subtitle.

Here is what i found form a font site.

Simplifiled Chinese words with PingFang SC Medium (Simplified Chinese font come with Apple mobile devices)

Simplified Chinese words with PingFang TC Medium (Traditional Chinese font come with Apple mobile devices)

Traditional Chinese words with PingFang TC Medium (Traditional Chinese font come with Apple mobile devices)

There‘s no corresponding words (like "稳") for Simplified Chinese in Traditional Chinese fonts. That's why it display worngly when I select the subtitle in Simplified Chinese.

You can see some differences between two fonts from the last word “全”.

PingFang SC

PingFang TC

Thank you for your insight as I don't know the differences between Simplified and Traditional as an only English speaker. You may be able to find a font to fix the characters in the next release then! 🎉
