Why don't you install the xfstt Debian package from slink? It will
take care of all the necessary steps for you, including a startup
script in /etc/init.d linked from the appropriate rc*.d directories.
The xfstt in hamm is broken and should not be used.
Package: xfstt
Status: install ok installed
Priority: extra
Section: x11
Installed-Size: 167
Maintainer: Stephen J. Carpenter <sjc@debian.org>

Description: TrueType Font Server for X11
xfstt means "X11 Font Server for TT fonts".
TT fonts are generally regarded to be the best scalable fonts
for displays. Applications needing scalable fonts that are to
be displayed on a screen benefit most.
This server will allow X11 applications to use the exact same
fonts as the TrueType fonts used on most Windows Machines.
NB: This package contains NO FONTS. They MUST be obtained separately
