Certainly you are making sense, but I don't think you will
really want to do that. Also, you probably should have better
luck posting to the freetype or perhaps gtk list.

If you really succeed to turn AA off completely, freetype2
will use the X driver. It will, however, produce "deformed"
characters at small sizes. Also if you run the application
through a slow network connection, the application may be even
slower than when AA is turned on.
