OK, I think it's rather important to ntoe that on the tutorial. I'll do so
later.

I've really got to run now but I might look into submitting a patch later; I
think it should'n be that hard: make TexManager._font_config a property that
on setting remembers the contents of the rcParams that are relevant to it and
on accessing reinits itself if it finds they've changed. Does that sound
plausbile to you?

I'd be happy to, but I don't quite understand: Should I also change the other
uses of rc on the page to rcParams? Isn't using rc equivalent except that it
also performs some error checking and alias conversion? Why is it better to
modify rcParams directly?
