| Pros | Simple term and hover text list in the settings; Options for case sensitivity and one replacement per term per post; Can use the browser tooltip or the qTip2 style | Upload your own fonts and assign them without CSS; Fonts are served from your own site after conversion; Works with Polylang and WPML language setups |
| Cons | Last tested up to WordPress 5.9; Matching is by plain text, so terms in unusual markup may be missed; Hover text is not shown to touch-screen users | Uploads are converted by a vendor server, so that service must be reachable; The predefined font library loads its list from a third-party site |
