To disable font smoothing altogether here are a few things you may want to know.
Linux
Edit the file ~/.fonts.conf and add the following content:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
Because most Linux systems comes with ugly font when `antialias' is disabled, you can download some Microsoft fonts such as Arial, Trebuchet, Verdana, Courrier New, .... On an ubuntu system, one only has to do the following:
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
If you really like Tahoma, you can install it by following the instructions located on the Ubuntu forums.
