To respond to my own question, extensive research revealed you must get a copy of ttmkfdir and run this in your truetype fonts directory to make the fonts.dir file. This utility is normally supplied with the XFS package but I never used that.

[OT] TrueType fonts with XFree86 3.4.0
With XFree86 3.3.x I was serving up TT fonts with xfstt, absolutely no problem. I have installed XFree86 3.4.0 on a test partition and it seems to work very well but how do I access my TT fonts? The support is supposed to be built in, so I made sure the freetype modules was loaded and added a copy of the Windows font directory to the font path. Result: nada. An encodings.dir file is created but the fonts.dir file just has 0 in it. Anybody tried this yet? What do I do to get the Xserver to see the TT fonts?
