I haven't used XF86 v.4, but in v.3 you need to run "ttmkfdir" rather than
"mkfontdir" to produce the requisite fonts.dir file for directories with
TrueType fonts.

Subject: [SLUG] XFree4 & TrueType
Howdy all,
I've taken the XFree86 4.0.1 leap... It's very yummy. Seems to have a much
smaller memory footprint too, which is pleasing.
Trouble is, I'm still using the old fontserver for my TrueTypes, and I'd
prefer not to given that XFree4 is supposed to do it itself.
The relevant details in my XFree86Config include:
Load "freetype"
FontPath "blahblahblah<insert ttf directory here>"
I've run mkfontdir in the ttf directory, and the log output line when I run
X indicates that the freetype module loads happily. None of the fonts appear
under X, either as entries in lists, or the fonts themselves.
Clues for the clue-needy?
- Jeff
