Dear friends,

Most Linux distributions have switched to UTF-8 encoding for quite a
long time.

a2ps --list=encodings still shows only 8-bit encodings and doesn't
support the standard encodings on these systems.

Don't you think this should be updated?

Yes. It's tricky for a2ps in its current form, as PostScript itself doesn't support UTF-8.

However, this is very much on my radar!
