For fontconfig/XFT2 based apps, create a ~/.fonts.conf

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
   <bool>false</bool>
  </edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

You can test this by setting XFT_DEBUG envar and watching the final
value of antialias (FcTrue or FcFalse).  xterm -fa mono is a quick and
dirty test.
