Bug report
I'm using Python 3.5, Numpy 1.12.0, Miktex 2.9 and Matplotlib 2.0.0.
The plot creation of the example from tex_unicode_demo.py works well.
But if I want to save this figure as a pdf-file using "plt.savefig", I get an
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
This Error do not occur with an old matplotlib version (1.5.2)!!!

This demo is tex_demo.py modified to have unicode. See that file for
