Re: Incorrect title and footer encoding for de_DE locale

[Stefan]

It still seems like we are talking about different things. My own
input is completely fine and gets rendered correctly!

If a2ps itself has support for localization, id est providing headers
and footers in the locale configured by the user, as it currently is,
I expect these values to use the proper encoding. This is not the case
at the moment. a2ps just uses the current locale and writes the header
and footer into the Postscript file directly if headers are enabled
(what I want). Setting another locale or replacing the generated
Postscript section with the correct value might work, but rather is a
hack and does not solve the actual underlying issue.
