Only problem I see with implementing these kinds of setters (font, color, etc) is that HTML allows for different styling throughout the content. The kinds of styling PText does can be done entirely using HTML markup. I'm not sure it'd be valid to provide those setters since they'd mislead users of the api into believing that the HTML node can only display html with one kind of styling applied.
