Hello,

I'm presuming that you are using the swing classes and that you want to
change the font for ALL tooltips. The way how to do this is through the
L&F manager:

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.plaf.FontUIResource;
import java.awt.Font;

public class Application
  {
  //Main method
  public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    try
      {
      UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getLookAndFeel().getDefaults();
      Font font = new Font("Dialog", Font.BOLD, 12);
      FontUIResource fontUI = new FontUIResource(font));
      defaults.put("ToolTip.font", fontUI);

      }
    catch (Exception e)
      {
      e.printStackTrace();
      }

    .... // The rest of your code goes here
    }
  }

Hope to be of any help.

Bye,

Wim Van Leuven
