I've now read that page. As UTF-8 is generally the preferred
charset, I would like to stick to it. Does changing the language,
e.g. to de_CH, change umlaut handling? It doesn't seem to, here.
It does, though. If you read the page you have learned that setting
LANG to just a language (de_CH), without a charset (.UTF-8) will set the
character set to the Windows codepage which is the default ANSI codepage
on your machine. In your case this is probably CP1252. If you want to
be sure to use UTF-8, then say so: export LANG=de_CH.UTF-8.
I set this variable (and also LC_CTYPE and LC_ALL), and printing with
umlauts with bare a2ps works fine now. Thanks!
