Look, I'm the last guy who's going to say something silly like
"everyone MUST use us-ascii!". I LOVE Unicode, I think it's a fabulous
thing, I think everyone should support it, and I use it all the time.
But I heartily disagree that simply because enscript doesn't support
Unicode that it's therefore *unusable*. It's absolutely still usable
for lots of purposes and for lots of people. Perhaps not for you, and
perhaps not for every German in the world, but in case you haven't
noticed, there's plenty of other folks on the planet too. Not all of
them are forced to use Unicode for every single thing they want to
print. Lots of people, for example, write programs in C, which is
designed to be a programming language that uses exclusively us-ascii
characters. Enscript is a great program for printing out C code, for
example.
It seems ridiculous to me that you would claim that programs that
don't support Unicode are "unusable". Maybe they are for you, but that
certainly does not hold true for *everyone*.
