Is it possible to disable anti-aliasing in CSS when using @font-face with pixel fonts?

Question

I want to use a pixel font on the web. I'm including it using @font-face however all the browsers are applying anti-aliasing to the font. I can't seem to find a CSS rule to disable this, can anyone think of another method of disabling anti-aliasing?

Answer 1

I had similar problem today and it seems that although font-smooth does not work in contemporary Firefox* adding some filter does:

filter: contrast(1);

Yet it seems to be a bit hacky to disable anti-aliasing with filter. By the way it does not cause to completely disable anti-aliasing just causes it to be applied somehow differently so bitmap fonts render correctly. On the other hand it breaks rendering of non-bitmap fonts.
