Bug report

When I try to save a plot as an EPS file with savefig() function, the result is just blank image. If I set text.usetex option to False, everything looks fine. The problem is only with EPS format. PDF or PNG files are produced correctly regardless of text.usetex option.

Code for reproduction

The code can be as simple as

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                       
plt.plot([1, 2], [1, 2])                                                                                                               
plt.savefig("test.eps") 

Actual outcome
Blank EPS file (but it's size is 182K).

Expected outcome
EPS file containing an actual plot.
