I have an X setup with XMing on Windows 7 as X the server and X clients (for example lxterminal) started on a Lubuntu 11.10 running in a VirtualBox VM. This works well, but I don't really like the smooth and blurry look of the anti-aliased fonts in my lxterminal windows.

I have tried to turn anti-aliasing off in lxappearance. It saves the settings to my .gtkrc-2.0 file:

...
gtk-xft-antialias=0
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle="hintmedium"
gtk-xft-rgba="rgb"
...

But antialiasing is not turned off and when starting lxappearance anti-aliasing is enabled again.

Am I going about this the wrong way?
