I doubt it's those -- try searching for pixel font or mini-font. Also, try searching for things on this forum.

Also check out the "04b" series of fonts. They're probably the best mini fonts I've used.

Yes, there are fonts out there created specifically to be readable at smaller sizes. You need to look for something like that. Substituting a common font with no anti-aliasing is just a compromise.
