set a border on a JToolTip that has a width/height greater than
 1. as in:
public JToolTip createToolTip()
{
  JToolTip tt = new JToolTip();
  tt.setComponent(this);
  tt.setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.black, 5));
  return tt;
}

when the JToolTip is displayed on the screen, some of the
text will be overwritten by the border.

BasicToolTipUI has in its getPreferredSize() :
        Font font = c.getFont();
        FontMetrics metrics = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getFontMetrics(font);
// fix for bug 4094153
String tipText = ((JToolTip)c).getTipText();
if (tipText == null)
return new Dimension(6,metrics.getHeight() + 4);
else
return new Dimension(metrics.stringWidth(tipText) + 6,
metrics.getHeight() + 4);

look at all those "magic" numbers. it really should call
getInsets().
