Does atsui not have a setting equivalent to freetype's "favor contrast"
setting (I don't know the official name of this, it's something you get
in the gnome font-settings dialog)?
With freetype that setting yields extremely "crisp" results without
actually turning off antialiasing: it essentially aligns all
horizontal/vertical lines to pixel boundaries (and tries to make their
width an integer multiple) but uses subtle anti-aliasing for rounded
parts and diagonal lines; it's far superior to just turning off
anti-aliasing altogether in freetype, and is my preferred setting when
using a LCD.
