These days most application use client-side fonts via fontconfig.
To make fonts available server-side (so old-style applications like xlsfonts
see them), you should add font directories to X Font Path, and each
directory should have appropriate fonts.dir file.
In debian, things that created those for ttf and cid fonts are automated.
You should just have x-ttcidfont-conf installed, and
add /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType to the font path (in
your xfs config, or in X server config, or manually with xset +fp)
