Both freetype and xtt deal with ttf fonts, so it's perfectly reasonable
to expect only one to work at a time. You can choose which based on
your preferences, but running both makes no more sense than, say running
xfstt and xfs-xtt to serve the same set of fonts.
You shouldn't need an external font server. I'm attaching my configuration
file, if it's any help. It works either way, with freetype or xtt. It
was generated by dexter, but I've had success with the config files
generated by dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 on other machines as well.
HTH.
