I think that has been done with menu strings (which is probably what I confused this with) on several platforms already, and it might also be possible for tooltips. However, I don't know how hard such a conversion would turn out, and I don't know whether there exist any serious applications that indeed require the interpretation of text properties for tooltips. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
