tool tip font

BUT . . .

You can do the following:

on mouseEnter
 set the vis of img "ToolTip1" to true
end mouseEnter

on mouseExit
 set the vis of img "ToolTip1" to false
end mouseExit

where image "ToolTip1" can be an image of text set to
any size, colour, style that you like. The image
should, obviously, both overlap and be on a higher
layer than the object it is 'tooltipping' (oof, now
there's a nasty new verb).

I know the whole thing is a bit tedious (especially if
you want everything to have tooltips in size 36 purple
italic), but it does work.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
