The correct way to handle this appears to be:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/debian-user-200209/msg02925.html

* install the package x-ttcidfont-conf if it's not installed
* replace FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype" 
   with FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" 
   in Xf86Config-4
* remove FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType" from Xf86Config-4
* replace dir "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
   with dir "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
   in XftConfig
* remove dir "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType" from XftConfig

I knew someone would know how defoma was supposed to work!
