  Replying to myself. It's in this FAQ. Probably not worth bothering with enscript and use paps or a2ps or other.

enscript just does not support Unicode. You need to use a different tool such as paps to convert text to PostScript. With --header option an output .pdf is similar to one produced with enscript:

$ paps text --header | ps2pdf - outheader.pdf
