Though I am entirely a user (not a developer and I don't know at
all on the internal), I am using 'xfs-xtt' package of Debian GNU/Linux.
It works well with Japanese (jisx0208) truetype font.
(Debian has 'xfstt' package also. It doesn't work for CJK.)
Please check http://www.debian.org/ for detail on Debian Project
and for downloding packages.
I also heard that XF86-4.0 has two independent truetype engines,
though I don't know whether they can handle CJK and Unicode fonts.
