Apologies in advance if this is an FAQ-type question, but I've been butting my head against this wall for some period of time. When using Ghostscript 2.4 to preview output from groff 1.00, Ghostscript aborts with an "/undefined in RE" error message. The values on the operand stack are /Courier@0 ENC0 /Courier (for example). This is the standard RE macro used with groff. Entering similiar information by hand into the interpreter works perfectly. The test files which come with Ghostscript also work quite well, and Ghostscript successfully displays files produced by psroff very happily. I have manually stripped all of the BROKEN_SPOOLER type comments out, and have even replaced "bind defs" with "defs" on some of the macros which are listed as being suspect in the groff PROBLEMS file. Ghostscript is acting as though macro expansion/substitution is not working correctly, for if one manually replaces macros with the actual commands (i.e., replaces RE with the equivalent operations), the document works. I would be overjoyed to hear that this is a stupid error on my part. Please feel free to tell me that it is - but tell me what it is so I can fix it!
