In my opinion, the best way to do that would be to make a special TeX
object that calls TeX to render a bitmap of the result. That'll allow
you to correctly scale things like borders around the text. Once you
have an object that can do the roundtrip, the next step would be to make
TeXification an option on all text entries.
