You might be up against the ghostscript anti-alias filter which
(IMHO) produces crappy, fuzzy output -- then again some people think
anti-alias is a feature, go figure. Anyhow you can turn it off and
get sharp, clear output from ghostscript.

I agree it would be nice if the PNG output was not directly tied
to the GUI but there are plenty of ways to get around the problem.
