Ghostscript seems to be broken on OS X

[Louis Guillaume <louis%zabrico.com@localhost>]

Hi,

Since the rearrangement of Ghostscript packages (as of 2013Q1) I've been 
unable to get a working gs on OS X, 10.8.4.

The current version I am using is the latest from pkgsrc-2013Q2. To 
reproduce the problem, use this troff data to produce a simple 
PostScript file...

------ 8< ------
.TL
A SIMPLE PostScript TestFile

.LP
This is a test file

.LP
Ghostscript does not like this file.

------ >8 ------

Call it "test.ms". I compile with:

$ groff -ms test.ms > test.ps

Now open with gs...

$ gs test.ps

... The ps file opens in other ps editors. I have no idea how to begin 
troubleshooting this. The offending area of the ps file (second message 
from the bottom says "Current file position is 5638" contains this:

/eth/ntilde/ograve/oacute/ocircumflex/otilde/odieresis/divide/oslash
/ugrave/uacute/ucircumflex/udieresis/yacute/thorn/ydieresis]def
/Times-Roman@0 ENC0/Times-Roman RE/Times-Bold@0 ENC0/Times-Bold RE
%%EndSetup
%%Page: 1 1
%%BeginPageSetup


It's the line with the "Times-Roman". Character 5638 is the `E' of "RE".

Am I somehow missing a Times-Bold font?

I posted about this a couple months ago on pkgsrc-users but didn't get 
anywhere. Can anyone reproduce the problem?

Any help would be great.

Louis
