Try the latest version of dvipng, and make sure it links to (a recent version of) FreeType. That will fix the problem. The problem you are seeing is that in the (relatively) low resolution common in these kinds of images, sometimes a line gets split onto two pixel rows at much lower ink thickness. Recent versions of FreeType provide means of correcting this, libt1 and PK fonts just aren't good enough in this respect. If you cannot link to FreeType, the value '--gamma 1.4' or 1.5 improves things a bit. You can also try experimenting with the resolution, using -D117 instead of -D120 for example, but the exact results depend on the font, YMMV.
