cups 1.3.9 (texttops) does not print ru_RU.UTF-8 chars

I've created an UTF-8 text file with German Umlauts, Spanisch tilde chars, greek chars and cyrillic chars. The file prints fine from KDE's Kwrite.
A 'lpr -Pps textfile' prints fine all chars, but not the cyrillic chars. The same can be proved with:

$ CHARSET=utf-8 /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/texttops 1 rleigh myfile 1 "" < testfile.utf8 > ps

and having a look into the PostScript file.

Looks like a bug in 'texttops'?

Thx
