If you've got an older version of Xft installed, and you've got a *lot* of 
TrueType fonts, then applications can take a long time to start as Xft 
used to read all of the fonts to find out what was available.

Yes, you can have both.  Add an X resource of the form

Xft.core: true

to your configuruation, this will cause Xft to list both core and Render 
fonts to Qt.  I've not tried this particular experiment; it may produce 
some "unusual" results.
