Sorry, when I filed the bug I was fairly busy so I didn't investigate
how the text is printed exactly.  I assumed it might make us of a
program, such as enscript.  I'll see what the status of UTF-8 in
enscript is.  I'm aware that a2ps doesn't support it, and I think the
program isn't maintained anymore, or at least not very actively.

What I found out in the meantime is that there's a program called
uniprint which handles it.  So maybe we should add this as an option
to magicfilters to use instead of enscript.  I'll take a look at this
later - maybe in about 2 weeks since I'm fairly busy right now.

I also have some information from Markus Kuhn (UTF-8 Linux guru) about
other tools which supports unicode printing and I'll forward this info
later.
