hi matt.
to use true type fonts in X you'll need a true type font server.
i recommend Xfstt. i use it constantly. grab Xfstt off freshmeat.net.
the installation is pretty painless and basically involves placing
all your ttf files into a directory, like /usr/ttfonts/, syncing it with
xfstt, then running xfstt. then as a user, run:
xset fp+ unix/:7100
after that, applications like the gimp can use the ttfonts in that
dir through that port, served by Xfstt. once you get the hang
of it you can add those commands to inittab or so and never
muck with Xfstt until you add fonts.
to use ttfonts in E, look at
/usr/local/enlightenment/themes/<theme>/textclasses.cfg
