The problem with this is that it degrades the quality of the plots, in my 
opinion.

Here's an example using the normal 
flags<https://raw.github.com/rpmuller/rpmuller.github.io/master/circuit-nousetex.png>

I think the box around H is sized better, and the fonts print a little 
thicker, in the version without the usetex flags. Any thoughts as to how 
this impacts the suggestion of always using the flags?
