) The standard pbmtext (from pbmplus) can't do 8bit, dunno about netpbm.  

you might try to find out what the apsfilter package (magic printer
filter, the version distributed with SuSE 6.0) uses to convert plain text,
als i recently gave it a file with german umlaut characters and it
*just*worked* .... (previous versions produced strange symbols, where the
umlauts should have been)  
 
) There has been a patch & a new set of fonts floating around, but I would
) have to search them myself.  As a fix, I just don't use 8bit characters in
) header lines...
