[QUOTE="morepurplemorebetter, post: 7137278, member: 6788192"] From your post on Patreon I thought you were talking about the fields themselves, but now I understand what is going wrong with the tooltips. Because the tooltips don't allow for any formatting, I got a bit creative with how I have the sheet create them. I use unicode characters to create bold and italic letters, thus giving the tooltips a semblance of a more readable lay-out. This works nicely on my machine, Windows 10 with both Adobe Acrobat Reader and Pro DC, see the screenshot: [ATTACH=CONFIG]85019[/ATTACH] I don't know exactly what font is used for these characters, but considering the fact that it does work in Windows 10 and doesn't work in Windows XP, I'm guessing it is a Windows font issue and not Adobe Acrobat's fault. With some quick searches I found [URL="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9360394/what-are-standard-unicode-fonts"]an answer here[/URL] that states the differences in unicode font versions between the Windows versions, showing that Windows XP does indeed run an outdated version. Your best bet would be to update [URL="https://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=1263"]this font[/URL] in your Windows emulator to v5.00. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any legal way to get the font for free: [url]https://www.fonts.com/font/monotype/lucida-sans/unicode[/url] Be sure you have "Use local fonts" enabled in your Adobe Acrobat's settings after installing the font (Edit >> Preferences >> Page Display). But keep in mind, this is just my first thought about how to fix this, I might be completely wrong ;) Alternatively, you can alter the function in my sheet that creates the sets of unicode for the tooltips, [URL="https://github.com/morepurplemorebetter/MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet/blob/master/_functions/Functions0.js#L482-L554"]which you can find here[/URL]. However, such a change will only be applicable for tooltips that are altered during the process of the sheet, not those that are static. [/QUOTE]
