These are my ps backend settings
I tried False, Ghostscript, and xpdf for the ps.usedistiller but no change in the onscreen output
in every case ps.distiller.res was set to 6000
# ps backend params
ps.papersize : letter # executive, letter, legal, ledger, A0-A10, B0-B6, C0-C6
ps.useafm : False # use of afm fonts -- breaks mathtext but results in small files
ps.usedistiller : xpdf # can be: None, ghostscript or xpdf
# Experimental: may produce smaller files.
# xpdf intended for production of publication quality files,
# but requires ghostscript, xpdf and ps2eps
ps.distiller.res : 6000 # dpi
I set verbose level to debug.
Here is the console output when I run the tex demo.
It seems that it is not using a tex font on screen even though usetex is true. It appears to use a tex font in the eps file
I get this output

Try setting your ps.distiller.res rc setting to 6000. Does that help? If so,
let me know and I will make a comment on the wiki.
