The view of the dashboard is a grid of images that were rendered on the Server, and the tool-tip is formatted text that the web browser displays. The issue seems limited to just Tableau internal's font rendering. Also your example tool-tip does not have any italics.Joe Makohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643500270169278424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248043124025283718.post-35435279796391965112012-09-08T17:35:43.958-04:002012-09-08T17:35:43.958-04:00Good theorizing, Joe.

If not, I suspect Tableau could take whatever text rendering they are using in their tool-tip, and apply it to their text areas.Joe Makohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643500270169278424noreply@blogger.com
