X font server purpose is to allow remote X server to use fonts which
reside on the font server machine.
and yes, the font server shipped with redhat 6.0 support truetype fonts,
to add them do the following steps:
1. mkdir /usr/lib/X11/fonts/truetype and put your truetype fonts in there
2. cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
3. ttmkfdir >fonts.scale
4. mkfontdir
5. chkfontpath --add /usr/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
I think you should restart X for this to take effect, but anyway try with
xlsfonts to see if the truetype fonts are available for you.
