Namespace: `options.plugins.tooltip`, the global options for the chart tooltips is defined in `Chart.defaults.plugins.tooltip`.
:::warning
The `titleFont`, `bodyFont` and `footerFont` options default to the `Chart.defaults.font` options. To change the overrides for those options, you will need to pass a function that returns a font object. See section about [overriding default fonts](#default-font-overrides) for extra information below.

## Default font overrides
By default, the `titleFont`, `bodyFont` and `footerFont` listen to the `Chart.defaults.font` options for setting its values.
Overriding these normally by accessing the object won't work because it is backed by a get function that looks to the default `font` namespace.
So you will need to override this get function with your own function that returns the desired config.
Example:
```javascript
Chart.defaults.plugins.tooltip.titleFont = () => ({ size: 20, lineHeight: 1.2, weight: 800 });
```
