Never have run Mac OS X, so usable only for Linux + Windows:

(defvar my-preferred-font
  (cond
   ((eq window-system 'x)
    "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1")
   ((eq window-system 'w32)
    "Courier New-10:antialias=none")
   (t nil)))
(when my-preferred-font
  (set-frame-font my-preferred-font)
  (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'latin my-preferred-font)
  (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'phonetic my-preferred-font)
  (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'cyrillic my-preferred-font)
  (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'greek my-preferred-font))

Whose uses only ASCII it is enough to follow official suggestion:

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "Courier New-10:antialias=none"))

I work with cyrillic, greek and IPA texts so need to define defaults for fontsets...

If others were searching for how to disable anti-aliasing in OS X, you can run

As I couldn't find a satisfactory answer to this one for a long time, I thought it wouldn't hurt to add this link to this discussion, as the above does not generally work on Linux:

The problem is that under Linux, emacs doesn't seem to be doing a lot of font handling at all, and you need to disable the antialiasing elsewhere.

You can specify the antialias=none option for your fonts, as stated in GNU Emacs Manual
