For my own part I simply turn off anti-aliasing:

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

However, one person wrote to me and said that it worked better for him
to turn off the use of color for sub-pixel anti-aliasing, like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
 <fontconfig>
   <match target="font">
     <edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
       <const>none</const>
     </edit>
   </match>
 </fontconfig>

Maybe one of these will work for you if you put it in ~/.fonts.conf.
