There are multiple things that you need to add information about.
- What language did you download the subtitle in?
- What video player are you using to play the movie?
Usually the operating system has little to do with what type of font your player outputs. So if your subtitle is in Arabic then your player needs to support that font.
I suggest you re-ask this question on superuser.com and please specify the extra information.
Cheers, Gergely.

In that case please try vlc => videolan.org/vlc/index.html It's the most advance and widely used video player out there and supports many languages out of the box. You have to attach the subtitle to the video or name the subtitle the same as the video and it will attached automatically.– HannibalApr 27, 2014 at 8:10
