Purtroppo non so darti una mano riguardo all'euro (come ben sai anch'io ho
alcuni problemi di font... :-) ).  L'unica cosa che posso dirti riguarda
xfs-xtt, che e' un Xserver con supporto per i font TrueType.  Per la
precisione....

"This package provide X-TrueType font server. This is compatible  normal X
font server, but added X-TrueType font handling scheme support instead of
FreeType backend. XFree86 4.0's font server can handle TrueType too, but
it can not handle TTCap. By using TTCap description, support for font
transformations, such as slanting, adjusting glyph width, pseudo-bolding,
etc.

xfs-xtt is a daemon that listens on a network port and serves X fonts to X
servers (and thus to X clients).  All X servers have the ability to serve
locally installed fonts for themselves, but xfs makes it possible to
offload that job from the X server, and/or have a central repository of
fonts on a networked machine running xfs so that all the machines running
X servers on a network do not require their own set of fonts.  xfs may
also be invoked by users to, for instance, make available X fonts in user
accounts that are not available to the X server or to an already running
system xfs-xtt."
