I can confirm that this bug is affecting me too on Linux Mint 18.1 using matplotlib 2.0. Some glyphs cannot be successfully converted when saving as SVG with text.usetex set to True. Surprisingly, setting svg.fonttype from path to none does not solve this problem either. A fix would be much appreciated.
