Level 2 PostScript can't do UTF-8 as far as I can tell (I dug out my
Second Edition Red Book).  It can do multi-byte character sets in somke
forms, but UTF-8 isn't one of them, and there's no FMapType that
escapes to a PostScript procedure to permit arbitrary multi-byte
encodings.  (Well, not easily.  You could define a show-like word that
parses UTF-8 itself and invokes the PostScript primitives only after
extracting a character code.)

You'll have to preprocess the text into something compatible with one
of the defined FMapType values (unless you're lucky enough to have a
printer with something more modern than Level 2, I suppose, if such a
thing exists).
