XFree86 has its own font handling built in, so you shouldn't need to 
install xfs-xtt for that reason.

Just add this font path
FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"

to XF86Config-4

I think antialiasing may require access to the actual font files as well 
-- meaning you need to have that defoma font path -- just a font server 
by itself isn't enough.
