I tried that one.

On Ubuntu GNU/Linux, `emacs -q' uses the font
`-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--17-120-100-100-M-100-ISO8859-1'.
Then, the tooltip face looks best with a height of 0.75 or 0.8, but
there is a big size difference between these two settings: the `l' of
`sample' in the customize buffer has the following heights:

0.75 -> 9 pixels
0.8  -> 11 pixels
0.9  -> 11 pixels
1.0  -> 12 pixels

With my preferred font,
`-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--15-140-75-75-C-90-ISO8859-1' a.k.a.
`9x15', I get:

0.75 -> 8 pixels
0.8  -> 9 pixels
0.9  -> 11 pixels
1.0  -> 11 pixels

So it shouldn't be 0.75 as that is too small with 9x15. What about
0.8? It is reasonable with both fonts I tried, although the effect is
less pronounced with the `default' font on Ubuntu.
