How change subsection format?

Question

I want that a subsection was 12pt, no bold, italic and times new roman. How can I do it ?

In addition to Bernards comment, it also depends on which document class you're using. Some provide their own interface to change things like this. — daleif, Jun 30 '21 at 14:23
What's the main document font size? 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, or something else? Is Times (new) Roman the main document font? — Mico, Jun 30 '21 at 17:14
so you are using lualatex or xelatex on windows presumably? (Times New Roman isn't easily available to pdftex or on linex) — David Carlisle, Jun 30 '21 at 19:42

You can simply copy the definition from report.cls and change the font in \subsection to normalsize (12pt) italic, and use fontspec to put the document in Times New Roman.

You need lualatex or xelatex on Windows to access Times New Roman in this way (I used cygwin texlive here).

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\subsection{@startsection{subsection}{2}{\z@}%
                                     {-3.25ex@plus -1ex @minus -.2ex}%
                                     {1.5ex @plus .2ex}%
%                                     {\normalfont\large\bfseries}}
                                     {\normalfont\itshape}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\section{Something}
\subsection{italic 12 pt subsection}
Some text.
\end{document}
