thanks, that was it. i got it to work now:

first, i translate to Type-1, got to stay native, you know:
  for i in *.ttf; do ttf2pt1 -b $i ${i%%.ttf}; done

then, i create the font.scale file with the script at
  http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/4413

then i use mkfontdir and the two xset lines, and bingo, it works!

thanks all!
