Tooltips text with font size

Hi,

 

I am looking for a solution for tooltip, when user hover over some textboxes and headers (titles) , it shows tooltip with text and some helpful information. 
I tried to use button visual (it gives me flexibility with place on canvas and size of hover over area ) but there is no option to change font size. 

Any ide how to resolve it ? I would like to avoid page tooltips as it requires to adjust page size to each text so that it fits.

I know, but I wrote that:  " I would like to avoid page tooltips as it requires to adjust page size to each text so that it fits. " 

@Marcinvelcino ,I see but there are no formatting options for tooltips, the only way to do it as you want is through custom page tooltip.

I understand, and how would you enable this tooltop  when you have a report for example :
When user hovers over titles of these visuals and would like to see a tooltip with text of information what it means :

@Marcinvelcino ,

 

it doesn't work on titles, it will show on a value and you enable it in the setting
