Bug report
I was trying to generate some figures using the latex fonts (rc('text', usetex=True)), but I always get an error (I also tried on linux). If I set usetex=False, no error is raised and the figure is properly generated, even the tex characters are generated.
If the figure is not composed by subplots, no error is raised, so, I think is something between subplots and tex.
Code for reproduction
