GNU Enscript does not yet support utf8 input.

Utf8 is one of my primary goals since accepting maintainership.

Until it is ready, you can use iconv(1) to convert the files to latin1.

In a utf8 locale, given test.txt is in utf8, then this:

   :; iconv -t latin1 test.txt | enscript -o test.ps

should work.

If you add option -c to the iconv call, it will ignore anything which it
cannot convert to latin1.
