I just run xset fp+ "unix/:7101" on my machine and I end up with this:
$ xset q
[snip]
Font Path:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,\
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,\
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,\
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,\
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,unix/:7101
If you have this then your Font Server is working and you need to make sure
that the fonts are set up right.
After I've got that set up I can see TT Fonts in my font listings. I just
have to choose them in my apps. Have you chosen TT Fonts as your default
font's in Netscape?
Here's the output of xlsfonts on my machine using grep to search for ttf.
$ xlsfonts | grep -- "-ttf"
-ttf-arial black-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-ttf-arial narrow-bold-i-normal-bold italic-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-ttf-arial narrow-bold-r-normal-bold-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-ttf-arial narrow-medium-i-normal-italic-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-ttf-arial narrow-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-ttf-arial-bold-i-normal-bold italic-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1

-ttf-arial-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1

You should see something similar to this depending on what true type fonts
you have installed. If you don't have this then you need to look at the
setup of the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType directory.
