Also http://www.paulandlesley.org/linux/.  This one needs a bit of

Both work for me, and you definitely don't need both.  On my work system
I have:

$ dlocate -l xfs
+++-==============-==============-=============================================
pn  xfs            <none>         (no description available)
ii  xfs-xtt        1.3.0.xf420-8  X-TrueType font server
pn  xfsdump        <none>         (no description available)
pn  xfslibs-dev    <none>         (no description available)
pn  xfsprogs       <none>         (no description available)
pn  xfstt          <none>         (no description available)

On my home system I have:

$ dlocate -l xfs
+++-==============-==============-=============================================
ii  xfs            4.2.1-3        X font server
pn  xfs-xtt        <none>         (no description available)
pn  xfstt          <none>         (no description available)


Both work for TT fonts in Galeon, OO, and Crossover Office.
