Also, how can you change the font inside the boxes, as well?

I don't tend to answer questions about particular scripts unless I fancy rewriting one. There are odd exceptions though...

The answer is given to you in a somewhat general form on the instruction page: the style of the tool tip is driven by style sheet rules (copied from the first textarea). If you edit them, you can alter the appearance.

The font face is altered with the font-family property:

font-family: "Times New Roman";

Opacity is a little more tricky, but you could have Googled for that:

opacity: 0.5;
-moz-opacity: 0.5;
-khtml-opacity: 0.5;
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=50);

The first three properties take floating-point values between 0 and 1. The last takes integers between 0 and 100.
