It does both.  If text.usetex     is False, we use our own fonts and
text layout algorithms, which can look quite similar to latex because
we ship some of the computer modern fonts.  If text.usetex is True, we
call out to latex and dvipng.  If you post the output with the
--verbose-debug flag set, we would know better what is going on on
your system

and post run.out.
