When trying to document #735 with a better error mesage I came across the fact that I can't export to xhtml/svg with qt console:

```Python
%config InlineBackend.figure_format='svg'
plot(sin(range(10)))
```
Then `file`, `save as`, XHTML/SVG, etc... i've gaot a pop up window,

Error exporting HTML to /Users/bussonniermatthias/eraseme/ipython.xhtml
'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2212' in position 15793: ordinal not in range(128)

Export as Png works ok, export as svg when ploting on Png (error Can't find image) works ok
Do I do smth wrong ?
