    <caution>
      <para>
        <application>Enscript</application> cannot convert UTF-8 encoded
        text to PostScript. The issue is discussed in detail in the
        <xref linkend="locale-not-valid-option"/> section of the
        <xref linkend="locale-issues"/> page.
        The solution is to use <xref linkend="paps"/>, instead of
        <application>Enscript</application>, for converting
        UTF-8 encoded text to PostScript.
