Is it possible to change the properties of the font used in displaying tool tip text for a JComponent?


You could override createToolTip() and then set the Font:

public JTooltip createToolTip()
{
JToolTip tip = super.createToolTip();
tip.setFont(myFont);
return tip;
}

haven't tried this though.


If you want to change it globally, you can do this by applying the necessary UIDefaults *before* creating the first Swing Component.

UIDefaults def = UIManager.getDefaults();
def.put("ToolTip.font", myFont);
