Description
With default parameters the script fails to write the pgf file to disk. Running the script triggers an exception (see code block and message below). Setting pgf.rcfonts to False fixes the issue for me, but the parameter is set to True by default.
Maybe related: #2097
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib as mpl
# remove or set to True (default) to trigger exception
rc_xelatex = {'pgf.rcfonts': False}
mpl.rcParams.update(rc_xelatex)
plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4], label="$test$") # adding latex label
plt.legend(loc='right') # add to plot
plt.show() # works
plt.savefig("latex_pyplot.pdf") # works
plt.savefig("latex_pyplot.pgf") # exception if pgf.rcfonts is TrueTerminal output
kpathsea:make_tex: Invalid fontname `Bitstream Vera Serif', contains ' '
