Here is what you could do to render UTF-8 text files to Postscript (for
printing it with the normal lpr(1) / lpd(8) chain:
$ CHARSET=utf-8; export CHARSET
$ PPD=any-ppd-file.ppd; export PPD
$ texttops 1 rleigh myfile 1 "" file.utf8 > file.ps
$ /usr/bin/lpr -Pbar file.ps
'texttops' is from CUPS and ofc makes use of fonts etc. from the CUPS
distribution; but you do not have to configure anything in CUPS to make
'texttops' working;
maybe there are other such tools and fonts; Pango+Cairo for example...
