Understood, so for the scientific notation?  I.e., for the case when
there is a \times<something> at the edge?  (It's clear we're talking
about ScalarFormatter.)

I would like it very much if one could make *all* text in matplotlib
figures be set in LaTeX font, for integration with LaTeX documents the
figures are used in.  Is this already possible?
