Err, wait.
as fasr as I understand it, "/etc/fonts/local.conf" should contain the
path to the font you have installed, so you should define there something
like (this is from a lenny box, YMMV):
<!-- Font directory list -->
<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/texmf/fonts</dir>
Which, BTW, it seems to me thats is not the proper folder for X server
can locate truetype fonts... so if the above fails, you can also try by
copying the *.ttf file under "/usr/share/fonts/truetype" or place it
under your user's "~/.fonts" directory (if not present, create it).
