I just run xfstt all the time. That way it is there whenever X wants a
font from it. In /etc/rc.d/rc.local I have
/usr/X11R6/bin/xfstt &
Also, you must tell X where to find the fonts. In Section "Files", with
your other font paths, you want:
FontPath "unix/:7100"
This could stop X from starting if xfstt is not running. I haven't
found that to be a problem.
Now X should have the TTF's available to it. You could use xfontsel or
xlsfonts to check. Then you have only to convince your apps to use
them.
