xfs vs xfstt vs native

[Kent West <westk@acu.edu>]

Not exactly Debian-specific....

Can anyone point me to some layman's=style docs concerning
xfs vs xfstt vs using native Linux fonts? I've read the
DeUglification mini-Howto, but it didn't make clear whether
you'd want to use xfs or xfstt or both or what.

It seems to me that the use of xfs/xfstt for true-type font
support is sort of like "cheating", i.e. "Linux uses its own
native fonts and you shouldn't introduce a foreign font
system to it."

Thanks for any input.
