Specifying fonts

Fonts for a particular part of the menu (here called tooltipfontstyle) are specified using three different parameters: the font's name, the font's size and the font's style.

tooltipfontstylename

This is the name of the font to use. Unfortunately, different fonts are available on different browsers.However, the following font names are usually available universally: Times, Dialog, SansSerif, Serif, Monospaced, Helvetica, TimesRoman, Courier, DialogInput and ZapfDingbats.

tooltipfontstylestyle

This is the point (pt) size of the font which you wish to use.

tooltipfontstylesize

This parameter can be used to specify the font style. It should be set to "" for the default style,"i" for italic, "b" for bold and "bi" for bold italic.
