I don't know. Probably not, as you message on emacs-devel suggests.

With the patch and setup suggested by Kenichi Handa I was able to
print Latin-9 but it was wrong for Latin-1. (see my previous message:
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.pretest.bugs/9536>)
Maybe Emacs could do something similar to GNU enscript. Printing my
sample file with "enscript --encoding=latin9" (and latin1) works
there: gs is able to display the correct glyphs. (Since most
end-users don't have real PostScript printers, it should be possible
to render the output with gs as most print systems on GNU/Linux use
it, AFAIK.)

I didn't claim that it doesn't work for anything else but Latin-1. I
only tested the most important encoding beyond Latin-1 for my region
which is Latin-9 because of the Euro sign.

Printing the same file (with the €uro) encoded in UTF-8 fails with:
"bdf-read-font-info: BDF file etl24-unicode.bdf doesn't exist"
Printing the Thai example text from HELLO produces a PS file, but gs
can't display the PS file (as in my previous mail):
