I just tried it with ghostscript 5.50 and it gives an error. If it's dvips
creating bad Postscript or ps2ascii being broken I don't know.

The man page states:

       ps2ascii doesn't look at font  encoding,  and  isn't  very
       good  at  dealing with kerning, so for PostScript (but not
       currently PDF), you might consider pstotext (see below).

And gives a URL:

       pstotext(1),  http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/virtual­
       paper/pstotext.html

Maybe that will be more useful.
