The standard xfs in XFree86-4 works fine with TrueType fonts (you
really only have to install a 3rd party font server if you are using
XFree86-3).
You just need to make sure that whatever apps you want to use the
TrueType fonts are linked against libXft or libfreetype (you probably
don't even have to worry about this if you're using precompiled
.debs).
(Oh, and of course remember to generate the fonts.{scale,dir} files so
that the fonts can be indexed. If you simply apt-get install
msttcorefonts, then all this'll be taken care of automatically, and
you'll have a really good selection of TT fonts which should tie you
over for quite some time.)
