How do I disable anti-aliasing? (This is Windows2K)

The list of available fonts is quite short. I tried this:
-outline-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-16-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
and the rendering speed is not worse, although it is not obvious that is
better than Courier New. Sorry, can't be more precise. Can you recommend
a method for measuring font rendering speed on Emacs, so I can give
accurate reports?
