Does anybody know (of) clean fonts without anti-aliasing?

Oh, the anti-aliasing looks just fine! I just get retro sometimes and
prefer to see 'exact' pixels.

Yes, the MS fonts are pretty ok without anti-aliasing, and Tahoma is 
still my first choice for a sans-serif non-anti-aliased font, but I'm 
tired to death of them...

Anja
