Presumably, the doc/meref.ps and doc/meintro.ps files are not correctly
generated?

doc/meref.ps and doc/meintro.ps are generated with flag -k, which means
that 'preconv' is used, and preconv is the program that will use
uchardet if available.

Could you please call:

  preconv -d doc/meref.ps > preconv_output.txt

both with and without uchardet, print the debugging messages (giving
by the -d flag) and attach the preconv output?

Yes please,
