Yes, those lines should do the trick. I do agree that AA is highly overrated. At not-too-high resolution (like anything over 1024x768) and/or with small fonts, the end result is "chunky" glyphs that look godawful. In fact the default fonts in Mozilla actually look nice with AA disabled, but you wouldn't know it having seen them antialiased.
The first thing I do after any install is to configure AA in all window managers and apps to activate only on large fonts, or disable it completely if I cannot configure it like so. My eyes are damaged enough as it is.
