Bug summary

When saving a figure in svg using the option text.usetex = True, the texts in the obtained svg picture are rendered as path.

Code for reproduction

from pathlib import Path
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

this_dir = Path(__file__).parents[0]

plt.rcParams['svg.fonttype'] = 'none'
plt.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True

x = [0, 10]

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(x, x)
fig.savefig(this_dir/'test.svg')

Actual outcome

As an example, the label here is a path svg object.

Expected outcome

Here the same plot, with the line plt.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True commented
