Use the xfstt package in slink. It is all set up to start at boot,
etc. Of course you have to edit your XF86Config to add the correct
FontPath. The port has changed as well since xfs uses 7100.
FontPath "inet/127.0.0.1:7101"

This is not in the Debian packages but the Debian-JP group has built
the X packages with this. You can use that if you want. They can be
found at ftp://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian-jp/ look for the familiar X
packages with the -xtt added to the package name. Note: I have never
used these, I just know about them.
