Bug summary

It seems like the font is always embedded in (e)ps-files if usetex is used (for example from the rcparams file).

Code for reproduction

import matplotlib as mpl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

mpl.rcParams['text.usetex']=True
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_axis_off()
fig.savefig('empty.ps')

Actual outcome

A 161 kB empty ps-file.

Expected outcome

No font embedded if text is not used. (No need to do the LaTeX-step?)
