Can the tooltips pull from the font-directory that carto describes?

   Tooltips are rendered as HTML in your browser, so you can only use web safe fonts or fonts that are more likely to exist on all computers. You can change the font by including CSS styles in the tooltip or legend field.

   Is there a way to reference webfonts? I tried putting the css/js for them in the tooltip box, but it doesn't seem to take effect, I'm guessing that it's removed for security purposes?

   Hi Rob,

   Yes, currently we restrict CSS to inline style attributes, because of attack vectors via CSS.

   This might be loosened in the future if there's a way to whitelist CSS. For the time being, the best way to pull this off would be to use Wax and the MapBox API to have direct control over your map's styling.
