utf8 and postscript

[Allin C. <cot...@wf...>]

Sorry, I've lost track: what is the current state of UTF-8 support 
in the postscript terminal supposed to be?  I sort of thought that 
"set encoding utf8" was working for term post, but it seems not.

I tried a plot containing Polish text with accented characters, 
l-slash, and such.  

With the source file in UTF-8, and with the "term post eps" line 
preceded by "set encoding utf8", no joy: the accented characters 
were missing in the output.

With the source recoded to Latin-2, and the "term post eps" line 
preceded by "set encoding iso_8859_2", fine: the accented 
characters come through OK.
