Does anyone know how to disable anti-aliasing when rendering opengl textures?
When I render an opengl texture I get pretty obvious blurring around the edges of the texture (see image), especaially with semi-transparent textures. I've looked into glTexparameteri but either I'm using it incorrectly or its not working.

I'm using soil to load my images (.png) directly into an opengl texture, so I don't have much control over their loading.

Thanks in advance.

As an example of somthing I DONT want, I present this image:

anti alias is off by default, change your texture filter from GL_LINEAR to GL_NEAREST

This actually a pretty good source which explains all the differences:
