Are you running xfs-xtt?  It's the true type font server for X - runs seperately 
from xfs, and is apparently the only thinf that can correctly interpret true type
fonts.  Install, and add these lines to the font path of XF86Config-4:
	FontPath     "unix/:7110"
	FontPath     "unix/:7100"
The first one is the port fo xfs-xtt, the second is the port for xfs - the normal 
font server.  Hopefully that'll fix your preoblem.
Good luck,
Steve
