Hi, I believe I have found the solution to this problem. Apparently they changed the underlying device for ps2ascii to txtwrite last year.
http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=2fa6beaa40144c592661a611bf35ff6f06d3354f If I apply this commit in Jessie, ps2ascii appears to work again. I tested it with two example ps files from https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/current/Psfiles.htm#Art alphabet.ps and waterfal.ps The text is correctly displayed now in Jessie but the Stretch version shows Chinese characters instead. Hence I would appreciate it if you could double-check and verify the output on your terminals. Regards, Markus
