what do i need for truetype fonts and antialiased fonts?

["Forrest English" <forrest@truffula.net>]

i'm pretty sure there's a way to make all of my fonts be true type fonts,
and i've heard rumors there's a way to make use of antialised fonts.  
what packages do i need, apt-cache search ttf seemed fairly inconclusive.
 and what sort of configuration do i need to do?
