I've added this in the font path and xfstt seems to work right now:

Section "Files"
        FontPath        "tcp/127.0.0.1:7101"   # xfstt
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
EndSection

Anyway, i'm still little confused about true type font with XF4. Without xfstt
Netscape show in the preference font requester the same true type font label as
"monotype".
