Using code such as the following:

```python
...
import mpl_toolkits.axisartist as AA
...
ax = fig.add_subplot(AA.Subplot(fig, 111))
ax.set_xlabel("something", color="red", family="serif", size="30")
```

I end up with a red label, but the size and family have not been correctly set. Using `fig.add_subplot(111)` instead of using axisartist yields the expected results.
