I'm using Proggy (ProggyCleanTTSZ 12 in .Xdefaults) font in Emacs. I'm not happy with how my OS (Ubuntu 10.10) applies anti-aliasing to it. How do I disable it?

You can set font options in your .Xdefaults (or .Xresources - whichever you are using). This allows you to disable anti-aliasing in emacs, but still have it enabled elsewhere.
emacs*font: ProggyCleanTTSZ-12:antialias=false

Font rendering is generally handled by the OS libraries rather than the application, so you need to tell Ubuntu not to anti-alias that particular font. It's been a few years since I worked much on Linux, but if things haven't changed, you can configure this by editing a file (maybe something like /etc/fonts/fonts.conf or ~/.fonts.conf or something similar).
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts#Manual_Font_Smoothing might help.
