I have TT's in my X and all I did was install xfstt and follow the 
instructions on /usr/X11R6/share/doc/xfstt/INSTALL

basically:

1. Copy fonts from windows to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf and run mkfntdir
   in that directory

2. Add these lines to /etc/rc.local

echo -n ' xfstt'
/usr/X11R6/bin/xfstt &

3. Add this to FontPath in /etc/XF86Config
   FontPath   "unix/:7101"

Perhaps you're not running xfstt?

Regards,

-Oscar
