Bug Description
Accented characters come out wrong -- wrong accents or an entirely different character when formatted with a2ps.
I'll attach and example text file with accented characters and the resulting postscript output.

Ok, it looks like launchpad or Firefox are afflicted by the same bug -- clicking the "Sample input text file" link in comment #1 displays wrong text for me.
So here is a screen-show showing how it looks in a terminal, which is the correct rendering.
