EPS issues with rc parameters used in seaborn library on Win 8.1

[MMCMA]

• matplotlib 1.5.1, python 3.4.4, win8.1, seaborn 0.7.0
• anaconda installation
• EPS produced while using the seaborn package are empty in my win 8.1 environment. I went through seaborn's rcmod.py and figured that setting "font.sans-serif": ["Arial", "Liberation Sans", "Bitstream Vera Sans", "sans-serif"] causes the problem, which itself calls matplotlib.rcParams.update(). PNG, JPG etc. work without problem. It also runs without problems on my UX system.
• Cannot say it has worked before, as I only recently started to use seaborn

Does regular .ps, not .eps work?

[MMCMA]

No, .ps does not work as well.

[mdboom]

When you say the file is empty, do you mean it has 0 size, or there is contents but nothing visible. If the latter, could you post the resulting .ps file?

[MMCMA]

There is content. Here is the file (could not upload .ps, hope zipping is fine)
figure_1_fail.zip

I think this is a duplicate of #5862

Trying to open the file I am seeing:

ps2pdf failed:
