MacOS fonts

Hello.

I finally bought myself a poppy mini, I can’t beat the fonts, I’ll best explain with a picture:

I want the fonts to be like in chrome, which is on the right, without anti-aliasing. For comparison, the file tree and the global menu are shown. As far as I understand, it's not just about anti-aliasing, but about the inability to change the base fonts of the system? I installed TinkerTool, but font changes in it are not displayed on standard applications that continue to use the built-in font (Lucida grande, it seems). Is it possible to solve this issue somehow?

The only question is why? Lucida Grande is a great typeface.

webtrickz.com/how-to-turn-offdisable-font-smoothing-on-mac-os-x/ - give it a try.
In general, font smoothing is much better in OS X than in other axes. So it's better to leave it and get used to it.
