I'm not excited about adding user-accessible, usetex-specific properties and
methods to classes outside of rcParams. It was a fair amount of work
integrating as much customizability as we have now via rcParams, but we don't
have the resources to support all the font properties in rcParams in usetex. I
think it would be best to just use a custom formatter for this.
