Hello people,

After calling the `CairoMakie` package, I use the theming function `set_theme!(Theme(font = "Times New Roman"))` to make sure all the text elements in the figure use the user-defined font - ‘Times New Roman’ in this case.

Except for the plot title, all the plot elements use the user-defined font. Attached below is the screenshot of one panel from my 4x4 grid plot.

One can see that `Makie` is using the default font for the title. I tried passing the command `font = "Times New Roman"` in the `Axis` function as `Axis(fig[i, j], title = plot_title, titlecolor = :black, yticks = [0, 2.5, 5]; font = "Times New Roman")` but this throws an error.

Can someone tell me how to set a custom font style for titles/subtitles? Thanks in advance.
