All,,, Sorry for the last one being incomplete... never sneeze with your 
Hands on the mouse button... weird things happen...*cringe*

Ok,  The following is on my box.

For freetype I've installed
 
freetype-1.3.1-17mdk
freetype-tools-1.3.1-17mdk
freetype2-2.1.3-2mdk

The last one is from cooker the freetype2 in 9.0 is seriously out of
date. (actually older than the one in 8.2!) 

then I went to 
http://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/rpms/

And grabed some stuff from Texstar (despite the complaints he does do
some nice stuff.)

http://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/rpms/

Xft-2.1-3tex  (works with freetype2 better)
fontconfig-2.1-2tex  (Makes Xft fonts work cleaner)
msttcorefonts-bootstrap-0.1-3mdk.noarch.rpm

The last one brings in and properly installs all those nice M$ ttf fonts.

I'm also using his version of mozilla-xft but frankly after installing the above
I really haven't noticed an improvement.  The final step is to go through your 
settings and make sure you are using either Xft fonts, or TTF fonts.  Luxi fonts 
work really well for me. The M$ fonts also look really nice.  I've also had luck 
installing free TTF fonts intended for M$ boxes.

PS grab keuphoria while you are on texstars site... one of the most beautiful 
screensavers I've seen in a long time.
