I hate Apple font smoothing, in the past (prior to 10.9) I've successfully used the following terminal command to turn it off (the option in system preferences does not work)

defaults write .GlobalPreferences AppleAntiAliasingThreshold 72

So fonts smaller than 72 get spared apples fuzzy font.

Unfortunately In mavericks this fails. So tried:

defaults write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 0

still doesn't work. Has anyone figured out a way or could suggest a terminal command that will turn off anti-aliasing system wide, I'll be happy just to be alb to turn it off in safari.
