+PDF files created with usetex now embed subsets of Type 1 fonts
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+When using the PDF backend with the usetex feature,
+Matplotlib calls TeX to render the text and formulas in the figure.
+The fonts that get used are usually "Type 1" fonts.
+They used to be embedded in full
+but are now limited to the glyphs that are actually used in the figure.
+This reduces the size of the resulting PDF files.
