Hmm... not sure what XF86_SVGA is doing. However, I do know that XF86_SVGA
or any other Xserver would use lots of CPU_time if it can't talk to xfs-xtt.

As root, run:
# apt-get install fttools
However, in Debian, mkttfdir may not do what you want, especially in
X font directories used by Debian packages. So, instead of using mkttfdir,
You may try the following instead:
1. Save the attached file (in this message).
2. Login as root.
3. Save that file as:
/etc/X11/fonts/TrueType/microsoft-truetype.scale
4. Copy some MS Window non-CJK (iso-8859-1) *.TTF files
(arial, times, etc.) to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
5. Run:
# cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
# /usr/sbin/update-fonts-scale
# mkfontdir
6. Stop both xdm and xfs-xtt, then restart both.
7. Test the fonts.

Did you restart both xfs-xtt and xdm?
# /etc/init.d/xdm stop; /etc/init.d/xfs-xtt stop
# /etc/init.d/xfs-xtt start; /etc/init.d/xdm start

You are running X from xdm, and not by
$ startx
right? If you use startx, you'll have to run it like
$ startx -deferglyph 16
too.

Check these files:
/var/log/xdm.log
/var/log/xfs.log
~/.xsession-errors
and look for clues.
Well, I think I have run out of ideas. Hope the last few remedies above
would do the trick. Good luck!
