The Bitstream fonts (Charter and friends): probably yes, but I don't
remember for sure.

IBM Courier and Adobe Utopia: probably not, but does anybody actually
know?

Luxi/Lucidux: definitely not.

In addition, you may want to check the GhostScript fonts from URW++
(in version 6.0 or later) which come under the GPL -- which will make
your font impossible (or unlikely?) to be included in XFree86.
